Traktor LE+Mixtrack+DJ IO Setup Help!

I just bought a Numark DJ IO to use with my Numark Mixtrack and I need help with setting it up. I plugged my RCA to headphone in output 1 of the DJ IO and then the headphone jack into the back of my external computer headphones. Then I plugged my iPod headphones in the headphone output of the DJ IO. Of course my usb cable is connected in both. I need help configuring it in Traktor LE if this is all right. Thanks!

EDIT: I forgot to mention the only output routings I have are like 1: OUT 1, 2: OUT 2, 3: OUT 3, and 4: OUT 4. Those are my only options in the scroll down menu when choosing the outputs.

I downloaded it already. Do I need to apply anything for that?

can you screen cap the settings so that we can see the options.

Yepp. It's like this for every output:http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/51/unledypb.jpg/

monitor is 3/4
master is 1,2

try that.

Yeah I will but now I don't have access to it until tomorrow. I will let you know then how it goes. Thanks for the help so far.

hope it works :)

Well that got my speakers to work but no sound came out of my headphones. Could it be that iPod headphones don't work with the DJ IO?

Make sure you have installed the numark driver.... and try it backwards.... Output Monitor 1/2 Master 3/4...

Yeah I installed everything correctly. Lemme see if this works.

Nope no sound came from anywhere with those options...

I have a similar set up so I'll post the pics in a little while! - when I get home...

Okay great! I have had this for 3 days now and I still figured out this mess. The faster you post your pics the better!

use my options and make sure you had the cue volume up in traktor, and a deck with cue on

im also assuming your using a 1/4inch adapter for your headphones, and that you put them in the right place

Okay so the problem is the 1/4 adapter... I didn't know I needed one. They come with most DJ headphones right? Can you find them at Wal-Mart or local store? Do you think it will come with the refurbished Sennheiser HD205's I am ordering from Amazon. I have never bought refurbished items before so quick question. Do the headphones come with the adapter, original packaging, manual, etc? Thanks.

Yeah, Theory28 has the right settings. Yeah you would need a 1/4 inch adapter plugged into the headphone output of the DJ IO. Also make sure that the CUE GAIN knob in the center top of the Mixtrack is turned up. That usually controls the volume of the headphones. The pictures might help.
Cheers

Thanks aGhost. I called up my local radioshack and they said they have one for $2.79 so I will most likely pick one of those up tomorrow. Have you ever DJed with earbuds? How is it? I know there are some people out there who prefer it over over the ear headphones too. Have you done it before?

that would just.... go in and not stay in...

Oh well they went in and stayed there but they were just in there really deeply. Like the cord was almost inside the headphone jack...

yeah. lol. thats not supposed to happen.

I have this same setup minus the software(using TSD) but it seems like you haev your headphones plugged into the wrong thing. headphones should be plugged into the DJi/o card and not the laptop.
also make sure your 2 settings for internal mixing is set correctly.
that was my porblem when first setting this up going from external to internal.
always forget to change both settings.

good luck and report back what happens.

but in reverse. small jack, big hole.

I picked up my 1/4 inch headphone adapter and it fits! Just when I think all my worries are over from figuring this out something is still messed up...

Okay so everything was going good until I noticed that only sound was coming out of my LEFT earbud. Also the main, and both cues were feeding into this one earbud. Like the what was playing out of the speakers was also playing in my left earbud. When pressed cue the song that's supposed to be cued goes in this earbud as well. Say I was playing a song on Deck A with the crossfader all the way over when it's NOT supposed to be cued in my headphones. Well the song is still being played in my earbud but when I press cue for Deck A it just gets louder. Also if I pressed cue on the left deck or Deck B it would also feed in my left earbud with the cued song on Deck A. When I cue Deck B while Deck A is not (but mains are still feeding in my left earbud) the cued song is added to the mains. The only thing that almost works correctly is when I cue Deck B with the crossfader all the way to the right except it is in my left earbud... So this whole time NOTHING is coming out of my right earbud. BASICALLY it's like everything is feeding into only my left earbud and I tried using different pairs of headphones and they all were the same. Also I just figured out that the cue gain and cue mix work like the are the same knob. Putting one all the way to the left will cut the sound and putting one all the way to the right will blast the sound(The other knob can even make this louder if you put it all the way to the right as well). And once again this is all happening in my LEFT earbud.

It's really complicated so I hope you are following along? Any ideas? Oh btw I am using the options that were said before which are Monitors: 3/4 and Master: 1/2.

Sorry for the length! Took me 24 minutes to analyze and type this whole thing

"Like the what was playing out of the speakers was also playing in my left earbud"
make sure the 'mix' knob is all the way on the left. at 0%

also, check you mapping.

for now this post is just to bump the thread so i remember to read the rest of you (long) post when i get home.
(long isnt bad)

Okay thanks. I look forward to your reply. I have tried moving the knobs each and every way so that won't help. And how can I check my mapping? It's the default mapping because I never changed anything concerning mapping.

make sure the 'pan' is in the middle on both decks.
make sure 'mix' is all the way at 0
make sure you have the settings the way i said to earlier

cue volume is exactly that

mix is how much of the main is coming through your headphones.
all the way on the left = just what you have cue on
all the way on the right = full cue and main volume

also, is osund only coming out of your right speaker? (check the ins and outs to make sure you put your face up to the right speaker, and not the one physically on the right but plugged in as the left)

Yeah sound is coming out of both speakers. The only problem is everything is coming out of the left earbud.

i think you messed up the sound card when you forced the smaller jack in there.

...Are you serious? :eek: I really didn't force it in there at all. Like I said earlier it fit, it just was in there deep. I don't think that could have messed it up. I bought it brand new. Are you aware of any warranty on it?

well, you can go back to where you bought it and say it was like that out of the box (for all we know it actually was)

see if you can get it replaced

I actually bought it from a DJF member who's information I don't have access to because DJ Forums has been down for so long. He said it was brand new and it was from the looks of it. Everything included and absolutely no signs of wear. Hopefully this isn't the reason he sold it to me. Warranty is really my only option until DJF comes back and with the customer service reputation that Numark has it's gonna be horrible.

EDIT: Good news! I just found his contact information from my email. Luckily DJF sends you emails containing the messages sent to your inbox. I will give him a call tomorrow to see if he experienced this problem as well.

ok. dont make an issue out of it.
you can try and resell it at half price, and pay the rest twards getting a audio2 from here.

assuming someone buys it

Well I am going to call Numark as well exclaim how it is a defective unit. If tha doesn't work out then I may consider your idea which I absolutely hate. Not because of the a2dj but because I just wasted $40...

considering a new one is $100 its not the end of the world.

wait....

LOLOLOL what if it WAS $40 for a reason?

any way, best of luck to you.

Nah I bought it $46 shipped... Most places have it new for $60 or so by the way. The seller said it was in tip top shape. And it looks BRAND NEW too. Must be a defect... It's really a bummer. Thanks for the help!

no problemo
