hi all , ok so i haven't a clue about mixing and have a small query .. i hooked up traktor with my midi controller .. all smooth . but how can i configure it so i preview the incoming track just in my headphones , not the monitors as well so i can beat match it before it drops ? .. thats how its sposed to work isn't it ?
my interface : m audio fast track pro
..sorry for the dumb question but i had to ask anyway .. like i said , haven't a clue about dj`ing so I`d appreciate any inputs .. thanks in advance .. cheers =)

First of all route outputs to your sound card in Traktor properties. Make sure you have at least 4 different outputs, route main to 1/2 for example, monitor 3/4. Now, 3 rd person i explain it to Depends on what traktor vers you have. Ver 1 and 2 - you will need to find the cue mix knob or whatever it is. There is a knob that controls what you hear in cue (headphones) it goes from only preview track up to the mix of both master and preview. set it to the left and you're good to go. NOW if you have the latest Traktor, it is called "Ph mix", do the same as above mentioned.
P.S. I believe all the other versions carry the same name for this bastard, it was once a pain in the ass for me, then it became for others, but i tamed it  Enjoy, hope i helped you out.

Yeah, i forgot to mention, if you use external mixer (pioneer or whatever) just set those output chanels in preferences and set the mixer to external, then you can forget about the cue, and plug headphones right into the mixer

Well your sound card needs to have more than 1 stereo output (2 mono) that is 4 mono or 2 pairs to be able to route to them, but if it does, try setting up the soundcard to use it in its preferences. So far, i don't know how to help you further on, i have m-audio card with 2 stereo outputs, so it works great. Do not know about yours.

just adjust cue mix knob to cue only first  otherwise you'll hear both tracks mixed, look at the master section in the mixer
