Assigning FX Units to Channels
The FX Units can be assigned to any number of channels in order to process the signals com-
ing from the corresponding Decks. To do this, use the FX Assign buttons on the desired chan-
nels. See section ↑6.4.3, The Channels and the Crossfader for more info.
You can activate two additional FX Units in the Preferences of TRAKTOR. Using four FX Units
instead of two implies a few changes in the FX routing scheme. Please refer to section ↑7.4.3,
Using Four FX Units for more info.

ous sources and directly blend it into your mix. Furthermore, it allows you to record many lay-
ers on the same loop (overdubbing).
