Pre-cueing with an Akai APC 40

I would like to buy an Akai APC 40 but I have a question (and I can’t find the answer on the web) :

how to preview songs (through headphones) independently from the mix that goes through the main speakers with an Akai APC 40 ?

Thanks !

You can map the cue knob on the APC to the cue knop in Traktor. There is no sound card so you’ll need one along with the APC.

Yes, but I will use it with Live. And is an external soundcard expensive ?

You can’t pre-listen in Live, i’m 95% sure.

I think you can you just have to click on the little headphones which appear when you click on the name of a track

You can and can even Cue/Mix on a knob if you set things up right.

and to show it you need to click on the “Solo” button above the headphone level knob (it’s disabled if you only have a stereo output for obvious reasons)
