Recording in Internal Mixing Mode from an External Source
The external source in this setup can be a turntable, a CD player, a microphone, etc. All
you have to do, is to connect the device of choice to an available input of your audio inter
face. In this example we use a microphone on Channel MAIN of the TRAKTOR AUDIO 10
soundcard. In TRAKTOR, do the following:
1.
Click the cog wheel symbol to open the Preferences dialog, and open the Output Routing
page.
2.
Choose Internal mixing mode.
3. Open the Input Routing page in the Preferences dialog.
4. Assign the channel to which you connected the microphone to the corresponding
channel in TRAKTOR. In case of the TRAKTOR AUDIO 10, it should be auto-config
ured to
Input FX Send (Ext)
.
5.
Open the
Mix Recorder
page in the Preferences dialog.
6.
Choose
Extern
as Source.
7.
For
External Input
, select the relevant input channel of your audio interface. In our exam
ple (TRAKTOR AUDIO 10 soundcard), this would be
Input FX Send (Ext)
.
8. Choose where the recordings should be saved or leave the default settings My Docu
ments/My Music/Traktor (Windows), or User:Music:Traktor (Mac OS X).
9.
Choose a
Prefix
, e.g. live_jan15th_ — this prefix will be added as part of the filename
which also contains a timestamp. Defining a prefix makes it easier to sort and find
your recordings afterwards.
10. Choose a file size at which your recording file will be split. If you want to burn your
recordings to CD later, a file size of
650 MB is recommended.
You cannot record a turntable via a line level channel. If you want to do this, use a phono-to-
line level converter, which is available at your local music retailer.
