Fig. 6-3 — Deck in Live Input
A Deck switched to Live Input enables you to use an external analog source such as a
turntable or microphone. You can then apply TRAKTOR 2's FX to the signal coming from
the external source.
6.2 Loading Tracks
To load a track into a Deck you may use one of the following methods:
▪ Drag and Drop: Use the mouse to drag-and-drop a track from the Browser List into the
desired Deck.
▪ Right-click: Use the mouse to right-/[Ctrl]-Click on the selected track and choose Load
Track in Deck A/B/C/D from the menu.

Then use the [Ctrl] + [Arrow Left] to load a track into Deck A or [Ctrl] + [Arrow Right]
to load a track into Deck B.
▪ MIDI Command: Use MIDI commands to load tracks into the Decks. These must first be
