New to Traktor, need some help

Hey everyone,

I recently got the Traktor Kontrol S2 MK2 and I have everything installed and set-up, but the caution triangle light keeps flashing when I have the controller running.
I looked in the manual and it said to adjust the volume knobs etc. and try adjusting the “CPU meter.”
Where would I find how this setting in Traktor Pro 2?
Also,
I don’t hear any audio coming from my headphones when I have ‘CUE’ on and the volume up. I do have a 1/4" adapter for my headphones and my headphones do work. I’ve looked through the preferences but couldn’t find anything that helped.

If anyone can help me out, it would be awesome and greatly appreciated!

Go step by step through the traktor QuickStart guide.

Then come back with specific questions if you are still having trouble.

Section 13.2 in my Traktor manual . it’s the chapter about audio settings.

I don’t have it memorized but I do keep my manual .pdf in my phone.

I did get the headphones working, found out I had them going to the wrong output.
However, I am still trying to bring down the ‘Load’

I did run through the Traktor Setup but it didn’t seem to change anything I had already set.
If anyone knows of videos or anything that they could link that would be great.

the load will depend of your computer specs, you can ease it by turning all the effect off if u have them activated.

which traktor version do you use, did you recently update Traktor?
What are the spec of your computer?

7

Traktor Pro 2 full. Yes, it updated to the most recent update when I installed it the other day.

My laptop that I’m using is a Inspiron, dual-core T4300 @ 2.10GHz, 64 bit OS.
I’m not much of a computer guy so I’m just taking it from the info I find on it.

Dumb question but did you go to the gear icon on Traktor then go to “Audio Setup” and verify that "Use Multi-Core Support) is un-checked?

9

Yes, I have. I’ve been looking through forums and videos all morning but I can’t seem the fix

10

the problem is your pc with those specs it’s gonna have a hard time running traktor that why your cpu usage is high.
