I’ve been recording some mixs on my S4 using Traktor Pro 2 (for promotional purposes) and my Sony MDR V-700’s (no speakers), but i’ve hit a snag that i just can’t explain.
So whenever i decide to hit CUE to mix in the next track it works perfectly fine, i can hear the track in my headphones as well as the new track im bringing in.
However, upon playback, i can hear both my existing track and the track im cueing up. So in the mix im getting a bad overlap.
Does anybody know what im doing wrong? do i need speakers for outgoing audio so that my headphones will work properly.
Help is MUCH MUCH appreciated
Cheers Guys!

Plug into a stereo, or an adaptor and computer speakers if you don’t want to buy speakers, but I (and many others) will recommend a studio monitor or other speaker equivalent.
I agree with dripstep. Just get yourself some pc speakers ( you can get decent 2.1 for around 25 dollars, and later when your budget permits you can get some good monitor speakers). Don’t forget to get a 3.5 stereo jack to 2 mono jack or RCA adaptor to connect the speakers to your S4.
Like i can record a mix no problem, its just i can hear audio from deck #2 for example that is supposed to be being ‘cued up’ as well as deck #1. Just frustrating because i cannot put together a decent mix because i keep hearing what ever track is being ‘cued up’ in the middle of the current track.
Without external speakers you would have to set it up as main output → Monitor L and cue output → Monitor R. This will set you up with your mix playing in your left ear and cued tracks playing in your right when you have cue set for a track. This is obviously not ideal, but if you’re stuck using only headphones it’s pretty much the best you can do.
