Internet Broadcasting With the Kontrol S2 and Traktor

Greetings! Today's lesson on running an internet broadcast is about using the Native Instruments Kontrol S2 and Traktor Pro to broadcast your stream to the world - in other words, how to setup your S2 so you can use it for internet broadcasting. These instructions will work for either a PC or Mac 'cause we're not using any whacky software like Soundflower.

Broadcasting From Your Home Computer

So you've decided that you're going to broadcast using your home computer. *sigh. There's lots of really good reasons not to do this but if you're going to go ahead with it here's how to do it.

Broadcasting with Traktor and SAMBC

I've never liked the "live DJ" mode that SAMBC offers. There's something about it that just doesn't feel right. I moved to Traktor pretty quickly after I started broadcasting 'cause I liked the fact that it was designed as a tool for live performance. This was perfect when I was just a DJ on Eve Radio.

Initial Thoughts on Traktor 2.5

Native Instruments released the groundbreaking Traktor 2.5 yesterday. I've been sorta kinda waiting for this release for a while 'cause I think the idea of the remix decks are amazingly cool - even if I'm not 100% sure what I'm going to do with 'em yet. But that doesn't matter 'cause I got the upgrade as part of my existing license. Yay!

MetaTrak v1.1 or How to Send Track Metadata to Shoutcast from Traktor

The Short Version: This tutorial provides a script that will work with Traktor, Broadcast Using This Tool (BUTT) and Traktor Scrobbler to facilitate sending track metadata to a ShoutCast server when you are using Traktor to broadcast your internet radio show. Traktor only supports Icecast servers and there's no Shoutcast support on the horizon.
