**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 🙂 ---

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. 🙂 ---

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 😉 ---

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

Probably because CDJ2000s cost over six times as much as a xone:K2 😛 Just use the gain knob on the mixer so everything peaks nicely at 0db ---

> [@MrPopinjay](#): > > Probably because CDJ2000s cost over six times as much as a xone:K2 😛 > > 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? ---

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

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.
