How to pre listen/cue from Traktor as audio is routed thru to Ableton Live
There are enough tutorials on the web describing how to route audio from traktor thru live but not a single one of them talks about cue/prelisten. I have an S8 and I wanna be able to pre listen my tracks before they go in the mix. I am amazed at the fact how all the gurus have missed this critical point out.
Thanks for help.

Routing Ableton Live Cue Function Into Kontrol S5-S8
This may be a different approach, I use Traktor and Ableton side by side, but I just run Ableton's outputs into the Kontrol S5 soundcard- the steps below solve the cueing issue, if you want to do it this way instead:
The Traktor S5 & S8 both have 4 output channels available.
Output Master = Channels 1-2
Output Monitor = Channels 3-4 (this is the CUE channel)
In Ableton live:
options >> preferences >> audio : Set Kontrol S5/S8 as the soundcard
options >> preferences >> audio >> output config : disable "3 (mono) & 4 (mono)"
Now in Ableton you can set up your CUE out to stereo channels 3-4, like the tutorial vid shows, and you're all set.
Hopefully this helps someone....
