**Recording a mix with Traktor 2 using an external mixer**

SETUP (GEAR)

Mixer: Behringer DDM 4000  
Deck: 2 x Numark NDX 900’s  
Traktor Kontrol X1  
Sound card: Traktor Audio 10  
Laptop: Acer Aspire E1-531

I have been having problems trying to record my mixes with 4 decks externally. I have tried troubleshooting by watching videos on youtube etc.. everyone seems to be saying the same thing but nothing is working.

I have the mix recorder source as external and the internal input as Input FX ext.

A re-occuring thing that is constantly mentioned in videos is a record out on the back of mixers, it seems that my mixer does not have this and I am just wondering is this required to be able to record externally?😕

If anyone could give me answers it would be much appreciated, Thanks!!

Use the second Main out or Tape. Same as Rec out mate. You can also use Booth Out if the mixer has it (i know the 4000 does not)

here is the setup i use for recording mixes…

AUDIO INTERFACE: Focusrite Scarlett 18i8  
SOFTWARE: Traktor pro 2  
MIXER: Xone 62

out 1-2 (focusrite) goes to deck A on mixer  
outs 3-4 (focusrite) go to deck B on mixer  
booth/record outs (xone 62) go to input 7-8 on audio interface

in traktor i run deck C as a live sound mixer that gets audio from inputs 7-8 . decks A and B get sent out to 1-2/3-4

hope that helps

Why don’t you run RCA’s from the back of the behringer’s out (either A/B) to one of the input channels of your soundcard? You can then assign that input to Traktor’s recorder and you are good to go.
