Reply to Need help recording a mix

So im a little frustrated right now....Just a few moments ago i attempted to make my first ever mix in traktor pro 2. While i was in the middle of mixing i had a thought that i hoped would not be a problem but it turns out to be exactly what happened....

First, heres my setup:

2 x CDJ-400
Xone:42
Kontrol X1
Macbook Pro

So here is what happened when i tried recording through traktor.... When i would be cueing up the next song in my headphones, i would use my hotcues repeatedly to get on beat. Now while the volume was down on the mixer/speakers and i could hear what i was doing through my headphones, everything i did showed up on my mix. Really frustrating to find this out after recording a 20 minute mix :/

Im sure there is a simple fix to this as im sure it has something to do with using my mixer in external mode and traktor not recognizing when im in cue. Any help would be greatly appreciated as i believe playing my mixes back is really going to help me realize where i need the most work. Thanks in advance!
