Xone k2 setup with a club mixer…some help

hi guys,

my setup is a macbook running traktor pro 2 with a k2 controller.

can someone tell me if this setup is correct?

output routing:

internal mixing: (as i plan to use the 4 channels on the k2 for volume etc)
output monitor: front left/front right (as im using the k2 for monitor cueing)
output master: this is where im unsure. do i leave this as not connected?

what i want is my rca jacks to go into 1 channel in the club mixer, put the volume up, then i control each deck & volume from my k2.

thanks :slight_smile:

You’ll want to set the pair of RCA jacks at the back to the master output in the software and then connect those to the CD/line input on the mixer. :slight_smile:

that much i know…im wondering what i need to do in the output of the traktor prefs.

I just told you :slight_smile:

dude dont monitor off your controller if you are using the club mixer.

external mode: 1/2 left , 3/4 right. plug into 2 channels on the mixer and use the cue on that like a boss :wink:

Well he says he wants 4 channels so he’d have to get another soundcard if he wanted to do that.

ya i want 4 channels & i dont wanna hog the whole mixer…i want to use my controller for everything. just plug into 1 channel & im good to go.

the only issue im having is the sound output. why are soundcards so much lower in volume than cdj2000s?

9

Probably because CDJ2000s cost over six times as much as a xone:K2 :stuck_out_tongue:

Just use the gain knob on the mixer so everything peaks nicely at 0db

prob is i had the cdj at 12 o’clock & the soundcard at 5o’clock. how is this right?

11

If you can get it to peak at 0db why does it matter?

12

well, i just find it odd theyre soooo different in terms of output. all i hear is how good the output on the audio8 & k2 is & they are much much lower than that of a cdj.

so cranking the mixer gain is ok u think?

Yeah it doesn’t matter, it’s there to be used. I have to crank the gain quite a lot with shitty vinyl rips and old tracks.
