I've been trying to figure out a good solution for Ableton Live synced with Traktor. Right now, my friend and I both manipulate Traktor Scratch on a WinXP PC, but I also have a OS X laptop and I'd like to use both computers for the same set at the same time (this would prevent overloading the CPU). Without using a JazzMutant device of some sort, can I synchronize the Ableton computer with the Traktor computer over the ethernet, or will I have to purchase an external MIDI interface of some sort. If the latter is true, what's the best (and cheapest) external MIDI device out there?

Note: I have an Audio 8 DJ as well, can I use the MIDI stuff on there for anything or does that need to be looped so Traktor can send MIDI clock data?

For questions like this i reckon search the Abelton DJ forums. Hopefully soon i will be able to try this one out.

hey mate how are ya

you could try using something like http://www.nerds.de/en/ipmidi.html for midi over ethernet

i have traktor + ableton sync'd (on the same putey) via virtual midi ports n such which you could look into

also as you said you can just get a midi interface for the non-audio dj8 computer and just do it that way

thing there are a few tutorials out there that show how to do it i'll have a hunt around if you want!
