June 09, 2018 17:35. I've found a few posts saying that Traktor will no longer work with 3rd party mixers with soundcards like the Allen & Heath Xone23C. One post example says 'Native Instruments has stopped the “Traktor certified” program as of this year (2016) and hence no more hardware that is non NI will be supported.
- 2x laptops running Traktor Pro 3 (latest update) connected and synced via an ethernet cable. Each laptop is using an X1 Mk2 for deck control, and is going via a USB cable into a brand-new Allen & Heath Xone 96. Amazing setup and we couldn't be happier.
- A refined, precision 4-band EQ. Unrivalled dual Xone: vcf filters with crunch harmonic distortion. And a dual 32-bit USB sound card (24 channels at 96kHz) with Traktor scratch Certification right out of the box. Bone: 96 lets you connect your whole rig, from laptops.
- Analog DJ Mixer 6 + 2-Channel layout, 4 Band EQ, Dual Xone VCF filter with crunch distortion, 2x 24-Channel 32-bit / 96kHz USB sound cards, Traktor scratch certified, 2 Independent CUE channels, InnoFADER crossfader, 3-Band EQ Booth, Line Inputs: 4.
- Basically, when I set up Traktor's effects for send to my Xone:96, there is a 1000-2000ms latency when opening the SEND2 knob on the channel back through to the AUX RETURN. Here's a video showing how bad it is. Traktor/Xone:96 send/return latency! If playback doesn't begin shortly, try restarting your device.

Berlin-based (but Miami-born) SpinnZinn is a pioneer of the hybrid DJ/live performance, playing highly textured techno sets based heavily around loops, layering and FX.
In today’s Traktor Tips & Tricks, he gives us a three-minute snippet of how he plays, and then breaks it down in detail for us afterwards, including how he also incorporates Ableton Live into his sets alongside Traktor – clever stuff, made a LOT easier by the gear he chooses to use.
If you’re interested in giving it a try, he also shares with us the mappings, which you can click here to download.
Check out our video talkthrough of the mixer here.

I just bought the XONE:4D and I'm curious if there any pre-set mappings for Traktor Scratch Pro?
I'm pretty new to all this and am a little overwhelmed.
A:
There are many different ways to configure the XONE:4D and Traktor Pro, a lot depends on how you plan to combine the two and what media format/s you plan to use, so if you're new to XONE:D Series mixers, or Traktor, we'd suggest using the A&H Traktor Pro .tsi configuration files to get you up and running.
These are available via the XONE:4DDocuments links HERE
Download the Xone:4D Overlays Traktor Pro Maps .zip file
The .zip file download contains two pre-configured maps for Traktor Pro, together with documentation outlining how the various software parameters are assigned to different XONE:4D MIDI controls and how the different 'modifier' states are enabled. The .zip file also includes graphics files in diferent formats; a .pdf for visual reference, as well as Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator files to print for use as overlays if you decide to stick with our maps, or to use as templates for editing if want to use our layouts with your own custom map.If you use a PC, you can choose to import all options in the files; this will configure the XONE:4D soundcard routing for 4 Deck, Internal Playback, of digital audio files direct to the four mix channels on the XONE:4D.
If you use OSX, or plan to use time encoded vinyl/CDs as part of your setup, you will need to configure some of the audio options manually, as outlined in the product user guides.
More info on configuring Traktor with XONE:D Series interfaces is also available in video tutorials on the
Traktor Pro 3 Xone 960
Allen&Heath YouTube channel HEREYou should also check the Native Instruments website, Traktor forums, Traktor Pro User Guide, or, alternatively, it's also worth checking out R. G. Haselier's Traktor Bible for in depth information on setting up Traktor Pro and Traktor Scratch Pro; this extensive guide references the XONE:4D in many application examples and is well worth investigating if you want to get the most from this particular digital DJ application.

Please note that the A&H Traktor maps are designed to enable you to start using the two products, though they are by no means the definitive way to use the mixer, or software.
However, these maps can be modified to accommodate your own personal preferences and re-saved as new files, so you can use them as a starting point for customized maps, or until you're more familiar with the products.
We hope this helps.
