    The first thing that comes to my mind is the following:

    If your audio interface you’re using for Traktor Pro has inputs, you can plug your iPad in and route it as a live input into one of the Traktor Pro decks.

    This is the only possibility i can think of since there’s no type of integration besides metadata synchronization at this time.

    Hope it helps!

    Hey Clockwise! Thanks for responding to me, I have a Denon MC3000 DJ Controller thats hooked up to my laptop that uses Traktor Pro so I can always try hook the iPad up to the controller and have a go via live input. Will they work simultaneously though, my thoughts are not yet until they update the syncing of both platforms.

    Thanks again for your suggestion I will have a go at some point when im free in the next few days and post my response on here 🙂

    Platform sync wont happen (well never say never, but nothing is announced).
    They are both independent platforms as of yet.
    So best you can do is mix the 2 together via a standalone mixer or via the mixer function of the controller and match both by ear (aka the old way).
    But since the MC3000 is really good, I cannot see much of a benefit on using the iPad with it, apart from laptop failure.

    I second that. Beat matching would be quite annoying since you cant pitchbend on Traktor DJ to this time, so you have to beat match the track you’re mixing out – Which would irritate me a lot.

    A an standalone backup, an iPad with TraktorDJ is awesome. I’m interested on how you were planning to use it in your performance?

    I have already had bad thoughts on how it will sound mixing out on the mc3000 to the Traktor DJ app but as of now its only to be used as my backup option.. until the platforms are synced together! 🙂

    Uhm … no pitch bend = correct … but not quite sure what you mean with you have to beat match the track you’re mixing out. I mean you can slowly change the tempo of the playing track (sync heartbeat) to match that of the incoming track (or even faster/slower than that).

    Or do you mean something else?

    I think it was a little bit misleading what i’ve said, heres what i meant:

    Mixing out of Traktor Pro into Traktor DJ would mean you have to nudge the track of Traktor pro to match the phase tp the Track of TraktorDj if your timing is a bit off. And beatmatching with the wheel (Heartbeat) on TraktorDj is far to fiddly for me. Honestly, I completly forgot about it until you mentioned it :confused: I essentially meant that i don’t aprove of the lack of a proper pitchfader/suitable replacementin TraktorDj.

    Hope its clearer now (i don’t think so, im a bit tired 😉 )
