    Well, think about it logically: does the Audio2 have inputs? No. How then should the sound enter the computer?

    (You could use the internal card of your computer though, if it has a line-level input)

    I don't think you could record into Traktor, Unless you where using it.

    You would have to capture the sound through the line in using audacity.

    You can't use Traktor's internal recorder if you're using an external mixer.

    I've had some very bad experiences with audacity (instable, buggy...) so that I would rather recommend Ableton or another DAW (e.g. Presonus Studio One Free) to record your set.

    Okay thanks for the info. What would be the best way that i could record my sets into the computer with a soundcard? Would an SL Box allow me to do so?

    you just need an audio interface with USB and RCA line in and software to record.

    You absolutely CAN record in Traktor while mixing externally, you just need stereo inputs. I do it all the time.

    Stereo input feeding a piece of third party software? That's not recording in Traktor, that's recording into third party software like the aforementioned "Audacity" getting the signal from your microphone input.

    SirReal is right, no problem to use Traktor itself to record while mixing externally. Just not with an Audio2.
