    Then you want to mix internally.

    You should be able to select it as a sound source in tractor. Set up 2 outs so that you have a channel to use to cue.

    Set up both the master and the booth channels within Traktor.

    What would be the best channel to put the phones in? (in front to the phones input or to the back)

    Use the main outs for your studio monitors or soundsystem, and then try setting up line outs 3/4 as 'monitors' for queuing; see if you can get sound to the headphones on that channel.

    This is speculative for me since I use an M-Audio box, but they both work on the same principals I'm sure.

    Thanks, man!

    Can you suggest any kind of wire combination, because the combination that I use has (in my opinion) way too many wires and don't look very logical

    All good to you!

    It's the FAQ. Read it.

    1) Set the Master output to 1/2 in Traktor
    2) Send the cue output 5/6 in Traktor
    3) Use the presonus software "Presonus Firebox Mixer" to and select the playback to phones to output 5/6.
    4) Connect outputs 1/2 on the back of the mixer to your amp
    5) Plug in your headphones into the headphone jack on the front of the device
    6) Get mixing
