XONE 42 help!!

[Oleboi]

Yooooo I am very new to the forum and first off I would like to say I admire all the positivity on this site It feels like people are trying to help other than talk shit but off topic.
I am very new to djing for I was only producing for a year but decided to take it up a notch. I purchased a xone 42 analog mixer and was planning on using the mixer with my two x1's and a maschine mk1(hopefully picking one up within the week). I was djing with my apc40 and x1s for a while but it wasnt doing justice for me.
I play strictly minimal/dark grooves like shaded, kris wadsworth, richie, dubfuegooo etc. but I was hoping someone can help me on setting all of this up. Since the 42 is analog theres no midi mapping so How would I set up the 42 with traktor? I know i have to send the info from the comp to the mixer to the audio interface(audio 8) then to speakers? i get lost at this point but im more focused on setting the mixer up with traktor (preferences, directing each deck). I would really love some detailed direction from anyone who has a similar setup or even the same since its a pretty common setup. Any help is greatly appreciated!

PS, no im not some spoiled brat buying a 42 for my first mixer, I have a great steady paying job and I really Just wanted to get the setup of my dreams(DB4 when im ready) , Why not if you have the funds

Plug Audio 8 into your computer. Plug Audio 8's outputs into the back of your Xone. Plug speakers into back of mixer. Open Traktor go to preferences, Audio setup and make sure your Audio 8 is selected as the audio device. Click output routing then select external mixing.

Forgot. Plug your controller into laptop and select it in preferences, controller manager.

Traktor will need to send midi clock to maschine here's a video on how to do it

P.S the maschine is amazing when you're playing techno i love it

So you're trying to use the Xone:42 as a MIDI controller for Traktor? Please don't.. you'd be wasting a mixer. Set up your soundcard the way Chris Macom suggested and use your X1's to control the software.

btw I pm'd you back about my Maschine controller

Quick question to anyone who is still on this post; say I want to use 2 x1s, a maschine and a xone 42, whats the best possible audio interface if i cant find a audio 6 or an 8?

You could look around for a used Audio 4, or if you're willing to drop the cash grab an Audio 10.

Christmas was good to me, swooped an audio 10 might as well I guess haha, so I take it I would need dual RCA cables both red whites on each side for each deck I wanna play with? Then quarter inch cables to direct te speakers to the mixer? Would I need quarter to xlr for the speakers to mixer? This cable ish annoys the hell out of me -____-
