There are no in’s on the Audio 2 so you can’t use a mic with it.

i believe you can set one of the decks in traktor as a live input, which you can connect a mic to. if you set the audio 2 as the main soundcard out from your computer(versus using it solely for the audio out from traktor) then any audio coming through the windows sound recorder or whatever will also be played through your speakers.

You’d need to create an aggregate sound device to use your laptop’s input.
