[CLOSED] DJM 900 Traktor set up for mac?

Hey ya'll,

ive been looking for answers a couple days on how to properly connect my DJM 900 nexus to traktor pro 2(fully lisenced of course), ive gone through Pulse' PC set for it, but it seems to be a little different for mac. the Input and output routing in traktors prefrences the mixer is from 0 - 7 instead of 1 - 8 which has me very confused.  the audio went through the mixer but no time code control, also do i get visual feedback from traktor to my mixer that its working right some how?  Im trying to hook up two technics 1200's and cdj 900s.  Any help would be amazing!  Ps, is the djm have a factory midi template already configured when its connected to traktor?  Sorry if im asking too much!

Cheers, rory.

@rorak > Don't worry about the input channel numbers, unfortunately that's just the way they appear. ;) It should still work out to be the same if you connect them as 0 - 1, and 2 - 3, then 4 - 5, lastly 6 - 7.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by " the audio went through the mixer but no time code control"?

Did you have a timecode CD in a CDJ connected to the mixer? 

Yes, if you watch Pulse's video  HERE, at 3:00 you can see the timecode signal in the "Preferences" window under "Timecode Setup".

If you could please follow that video I posted above, and please also take a look at this video  HERE.

As for the MIDI settings... the DJM-900 is not meant to control the Traktor software. It is to be used as a hardware mixer that is Traktor certified and can replace the Audio XX DJ sound card from NI. ;)

I hope those videos are helpful and please feel free to ask more questions if need. :)

@foster thanks for the help! I tried the timecode with vinyl time code.  And what i meant was that, audio from deck one in traktor was comming into channel 1 on the mixer, but no time code control.  Im going to try the time code cd in my cdj-900 when i get home from work.  Ill report back with my findings in the morning!  

Cheers

@rorak > It sounds like it's good if you have the audio on deck 1 going into channel 1. But what do you mean by "time code control"?

There shouldn't be any HID control over Traktor when using time code. Which means not all of the buttons will work on the CDJ's with Traktor, unless you set them up to use in HID mode.

Sounds good, let me know how it goes. :)

I'm having timecode issues with my DJM-850K mixer (I'm assuming the setup is the same as the Nexus).  I'm running TSP 2.1.1 which came standard with the Timecode kit. and having similar timecode issues. I followed your setup instructions on youtube but scratch control is still disabled (see attachment 1 of 2) and I cannot control music files with my control CD. 

When I go to "timecode setup" under preferences, traktor doesn't pick up any signal from my timecode CD and the decoder gain keeps saying "calculating" (see attachment 2 of 2). 

Any idea what I may be doing wrong? Here are my specs: 

**Hardware

Pioneer CDJ-1000s MKII x 2

Pioneer DJM 850K

Macbook 13” 2.4GHz duo core, 4 GB RAM, 10.67 OSx


Software

Traktor version 2.1.1 (came from the original installation CD)

Pioneer DJM Settings Utility version 1.0.0 (from original installation CD)**

I'm experiencing the exact same problem with my sl-1200s and TSP2.5. I've watched all the videos, and my inout and output settings appear to match in Traktor. If I run Traktor in internal mode, the output plays fine through the mixer, but it doesn't even recognize the time code vinyls. Please help!
