    Default TRAKTOR recording question

    Hey guys, kinda noob question but used cdj all my life and I'm not getting the point. I hook up the following setup for a young cousin thats now interested in EDM:

    .TRAKTOR PRO 2.5.1
    .TRAKTOR AUDIO 2
    .NUMARK MIXTRACK

    I've set it to Internal Recording (since there's no inputs in TA2 I can't route it to Audacity and record externally right?) but when the crossfader is in the middle I can clearly hear the sound coming from the opposite channel, even with the eq faders cranked down. When I put the crossfader all the oppositte way it gets clear, but mix that way sucks. What am I not getting?

    Thanks in advance!

    I'm not sure I fully understand what you're saying, do you mean the channel faders don't work? Try to explain a little better.

    For starters make sure you're in INTERNAL mixing mode rather than external.

    The EQ faders do work, but the sound "leaks" off the channel B, for example, a lot when the crossfaders isn't 100% left to channel A. Is it the lack of a proper mixer?

    Make sure you've got your cross fader assigned correctly within Traktor.

    Though you've explained what you're asking pretty badly try adjusting the sharpness of the mixer

    Settings > Mixer > Crossfader adjust smooth / sharp bar

    Change the EQs to Z ISO eq

    Settings > Mixer > EQ Selection > Z ISO

    It's correctly assigned. Look, if u mix without a real mixer, using traktor internal mode, the sound always leaks when the vhannel volume is up, but the eq faders all the way down?

    There's no Z ISO mode in EQ Selection here. Just NUO, CLASSIC, XONE and P600

    Traktor 2.6 added Z and P800 which totally kill the sound..
    The other eq's are not "full" kills - try updating to 2.6
