**Noob here needing help with Traktor**

I am here with traktor and an apc40 and I am trying to load a midi mapping, but when I load it up it looks nothing like the mapping I saw in the video. I am new to this and I have no idea what I’m doing and its giving me a headache. In the video this persons controller had lights on and everything and when I load it up there is nothing going on. Do I have to do something with the apc 40 in ableton before I start using it in traktor? I was using it in ableton, but I wanted to give it a try in traktor to see if it was better or worse. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. 🙂
