How To Live Stream Traktor Pro 2 With Video

Home

Feb 2016: This guide is now outdated, please see my updated guide @ https://vandragt.com/2016/02/traktor-streaming-setup and is just offered for historical reasons.



Introduction

Many people do not use Traktor because by default it does not broadcast to shoutcast streams. Shoutcast is by far the most popular stream format used by internet radio. Traktor can only broadcast to icecast streams. Therefore we need to setup an private icecast server and a program to convert the icecast stream into a shoutcast stream.
This document is a work in progress.

  1. 3 Configuration
  2. 4 Testing

Requirements

You will need to install the following software:
Product Version Info Software
Native Instruments Traktor homepagedemo
Icecast2 homepage download
Stream Transcoder V3officialhomepage
VIP Edition
forum topic
download mirror

Important note: I recommend using the rare VIP edition because it fixes low frequency distortion problems that are present in version 3.1.11
You can install these on seperate computers or on the same computer. For the purposes of this tutorial I will assume you have installed the various software on one machine.

Configuration

  1. First we will setup the Icecast server.
  2. Then we will setup Stream Transcoder to receive audio from the Icecast server and connect to another shoutcast server, for example the internet radio station.
  3. Then we will setup Traktor to broadcast to the Icecast server.
I might be able to simplify these configuration files but atm it's based on my actual configuration that I don't want to mess up. After setting up a testing system I will revise these to the most minimal configuration.

Icecast

Edit configuration - first thing you do is change the password obviously:

and mostly just contains the things you need to change. We created
this for those who got scared away from the rather large and heavily
commented icecast.xml.dist file. -->
