    Default Oh my, I need help with my new VCI and firebox

    Wohoo my new equipment came today.
    Bohoo, I'm having problems setting up.

    I'm looking to set this equipment up with traktor.

    Steps I've taken:

    Changed the soundcard to presonus firebox out main 1/2

    I don't know what to do with the output routing...

    I assume I'm using the software as a mixer, yes? So I select internally.
    There' two areas, Monitor and Master.
    Monitoring is for queueing tracks and beatmatching (or sync'ing) them?
    and is the master for the speakers?

    I've got no idea what to set up next. There's nothing on the presonus forums or the vestax forums (as far as my searches went)

    What do I set up now? And what settings in tractor do I have to edit to allow me to queue my tracks in the headphones without playing it through the main speakers?

    Help a newb out.

    Did your Firebox come with a manual? I'm not familiar with that unit, but when I was configuring my M-Audio Connectiv, I read through the manual to figure out how all the ins/outs worked, and then it made sense to me when I configured everything.

    Well, all the problems were because I hadn't updated my firmware and the driver version was old.

    I was suprised because I though having just bought it, the drivers would have been up to date.

    Ah well, all is working fine now.
