3.2 Using the TRAKTOR AUDIO 2 (Setup Scenarios)
The TRAKTOR AUDIO 2 addresses two specific use-cases when used with TRAKTOR or TRAK-
TOR DJ: Internal Mixer Mode and External Mixer Mode.
Both use-cases employ two stereo outputs, but the signals assigned to those outputs differ. Ad-
ditionally, the purposes of the encoders change depending on the use-case. You can find more
information in the following section ↑3.2.2, Overview of External Mixer Mode and ↑3.2.1, Over-
view of Internal Mixer Mode.
Furthermore, the TRAKTOR AUDIO 2 works as a class-compliant audio interface for Windows
and Mac OS X.
A driver is required for Windows and needs to be downloaded from the Native Instruments
website if TRAKTOR software is not installed.
3.2.1 Overview of Internal Mixer Mode
When TRAKTOR or TRAKTOR DJ is used in Internal Mixer Mode, the MAIN output will be
dedicated to the Main Mix and the Headphones output is used for headphones.
The two encoders will affect the Headphones output – one encoder will control the volume of
the headphones while the other encoder controls the Cue Mix (whether the DJ hears the Cued
track, the Main Mix, or a blend of both).
