Ableton Forum

I have seen many tutorials and threads online regarding recording individual channels from traktor into individual tracks in ableton simultaneously, but no one seems to know how to record audio into a DAW while using relative mode.

I want to record scratches over a song that I am working on directly into a track in Ableton so that I can make changes and quickly manipulate the audio. I have figured out how to route a deck into a track and record that way, but it only supports internal mode.

I need a way to record scratches into Ableton using relative mode, as well as capturing the gating effect from using the crossfader. I would like to use timecode and relative mode because it is cleaner than regular vinyl, but even when I record vinyl directly into ableton it does not record the fader movements.

I know how to do this using an A10 but it's very inconvenient to have to keep pulling that out and hooking it up every time I want to do this when I have my turntable and Z2 sitting right next to me ready to go.

So the question is, how do I record relative mode into a track in ableton such that it captures my record AND crossfader movements?

With one of the actually working plugins and devices such deckadance, scratch track or ms. Pinky maxforlive device.

Also if you want to do it with your actual setup you should route the DVS software output into an Ableton input... If your software can't do it straightforward the try to use a virtual cable like soundflower.

Thanks.

I solved the problem myself. It is easiest to simply run the booth out from my z2 into my inputs on my Scarlett 2i2 interface which allows me to record straight onto an audio track in real time as I listen to the production.
