help - how to setup prelisten with Presonus Firebox and traktor

Recently I buy a Presonus Firebox and I try use with traktor and vci-100, but I don’t know how to setup prelisten .
I have connect a firewire cable and 1&2 output to my amplifier how master.
In the traktor setup I have 1&2 outputs like master and 3&4 like monitor but only prelisten the up channel in the vci-100.

Sorry for my english…

Thank you.

Alright, here’s how you set up the pfb with traktor.

  1. download the most up to date drivers from http://www.presonus.com

  2. In the traktor preferences, use the ASIO drivers.

  3. Set the monitor output to 3&4

  4. Set the master output to 1&2

  5. In the programs menu (i.e. click start), open the "presonus 1394 audio driver ->Firebox mixer

  6. On the right hand corner of the window, you’ll see a “playback to phones” section. Click 3&4 here. note you have to open this mixer program each time you want to monitor or the mixer won’t know where to send the signal.

  7. Set the playback to 1&2 (It’s the default, so you shouldn’t have to.

  8. Plug in your headphone cable in the FRONT of the fbox

  9. Plug in the amplifier cable to the 1&2 output

  10. make sure and play around with the “monitor select” knob on the top right of the vci aswell to preview either deck..or both at the same time.

Good luck!
