    Default Hi everyone, I need some help with my Typhoon

    First of all, hi guys and girls.

    As my name already gives away, I'm a complete newbie to DJ'ing and after a house party I was at recently, I got a chance to tinker around with a Controller.

    I was pretty hooked and went and got myself a Vestax Typhoon.

    Here's the problem though, after reading a few older threads here, I got myself a copy of Traktor Pro (instead of Scratch Pro like I had earlier). However, I can't get it to work.

    The buttons seem to respond to what's happening on the screen (Play, etc.) but I can't hear anything . I checked all the levels on the unit and on the PC.

    However, I can see some sort of activity on the levels in Windows, I just can't hear it.

    My setup right now is just the Typhoon connected to my laptop running Windows 7. I was hoping to run the sound through the laptop itself instead of a headset or a speaker, would that be possible?.

    Could you guys help me set my Typhoon up ?.

    Thanks a lot in advance!.

    Right now, it's giving me that MIDI blink thing whenever I push anything . And yep, this is Traktor Pro.

    'Headphones/Speakers 1'
    'Headphones/Speakers 2'

    in the Output options .

    try switching to 2-typhoon dj controller in audio setup press play on a track
    if nothing happens keep track playing and go to output and see if u can change it if it gives u a bunch of opitons mess about with them,all so make sure your volumes are up on the typhoon

    For some reason now I can't even load a track onto a either deck :S

    This is really frustrating >.<

    Alright, I reinstalled Traktor Pro and got v1.2.4

    The crossfader and the left level slider seem to make the ones on screen move, the other doesn't. Also the play buttons seem to work the same.

    However, instead of the 'MIDI' blinker, I now have a 'CTRL' blinking whenever I do anything.

    I imported the TSI too.

    I still can't add tracks though .

    Anyone know what I'm doing wrong or could anyone suggest something?.
