Traktor - headphone cue on master, no idea how to fix
Posted on: 22.04.2013 by Man Marrano
So my new Mixtrack Pro 2 arrived today and I thought I'd play with the integrated soundcard. It worked fine for a few hours and then Traktor started playing whatever I was doing on the headphones to the master output. I have no idea what happened. The headphones play only the cue signal, while my speakers play both the monitor and the master output. I tried unplugging everything, restarting traktor and my computer, re-doing the settings from scratch to no avail.

I'd appreciate any help. Has anyone ever had this problem?

The only thing cue does it make it so that you can hear it in your headphones before sending it to the master by using the crossfader or channel fader.

No, why should it work like that?

Deck A is playing a track, it goes out to master. I set up a new track on B, press the cue button, crossfader is in the middle. I play the track on B to listen to it through my headphones, I get it both on the headphones and on master. If I move the crossfader to just A, then I don't get the cued track on master, but I can still hear it on the headphones.

Thanks for your quick replies, guys. I knew this was the right place to ask.
Is the channel fader up on the deck that is being cued when the crossfader is in the middle? If not your output routing is not right. If the channel fader is up the deck will play through the master no matter if cue is engaged.

Please post screen shots of your Traktor audio routing settings.

That's cus I have my mic on Ch D and I need it to be live no matter where the crossfader is (but I'm sure you knew that;-)

22.04.2013		Have you assigned the crossfader to the decks correctly..?

As mentioned, above, I did.

I also found out that if I cue a track and then move the crossfader away from it, it works as expected - cue in the headphones, master output in the speakers. However, is there any way that Traktor will not send a cued deck to the master output regardless of the crossfader?

22.04.2013		It plays thru the master even with the volume faders down? and you just mentioned the crossfader, but the way you explained it made it hard for me to understand......so I'll ask you to re-explain so I can understand.......when you crossfade, does it work like it's supposed to? and to answer your question Traktor should never send a cued deck into the master output, unless it is live, so if it isnt "live" (in this situation volume fader would be down) doesnt matter what position the crossfader is in......you shouldnt hear that deck over the main speakers
