    Angry mixtrack with tractor le

    I purchased the mixtrack that came with tractor le about 3 weeks ago. I cant seem to get the cueing working correctly my cue icoming thru the speakers and head phones. When i push the cue button the music gets louder. I am using my lexicon lambda as my external sound card. The only reason i am using that is the guy at guitar center said that it would work. I have tried to find this tsi file to download i cant seem to find. I am a old school deejay been rocking two turntables and a mixer for the longest.my friend (with heavy arm twisting) convince me to go digital so i bought the mixtrack for $149 it look good enough for me to get the feel of all this deejaying with computer hub bub.. But since i have got it i been madder than a no teeth man at a chicken wing eating contest!!!! Can some one please and really mean please tell me how to map the button,sync the knobs,fix the cue, whatever u call it i need that !!! Help please before i go skeet shooting with a $149 skeets.
    P.s every forum i check they always talk about the other version of trctoe never le the want u to upgrade i will as soon as i learn the downgrade !!!

    Aloha,

    I'm sorry to hear about your frustration, and despite your experience so far, the Mixtrack is actually a pretty sweet controller. I posted a mapping in the mappings forum for it. And the Mixtrack is working just fine.

    However Traktor LE is very very limited. You can't do most of the things you listed in your post in LE. There are no hotcues, you can't remap any buttons, and I think you only get 3 effects.

    I know you want to start small and work your way up and in that case what I would suggest checking out the demo. It's full featured, but you only get 30 mins. You can download it right now from NI's website.

    But honestly you should just upgrade to Traktor Pro 2 as it would solve almost all of your current frustrations. All the features you want and then some will be available to you.

    I hope that helps and good luck!

    like he said, download the TP2 demo and see what you think. You can use it for 30 mins then you need to close it and restart it, not too big of a deal and it's free.

    With regards to your sound issues, if you could upload a screenshot of your output routing window (in preferences) that would help us see what's going on. I't probably a pretty simple problem.
