Setting levels for DJM 850 within traktor. Autogain/Limiter

Hello Gerard, I run Traktor 2.10 with 2 Kontrol X1 Mk1 Controlers, 4 channels (no timecode) on a DJM 850S.

I always set the gains on the mixer itself (0db), and I disabled the autogain and limiter functions on Traktor - this is very important.

- Disable autogain / limiter on traktor;

- Double-click the 'main' output knob on traktor interface to return it to 0db (always keep it at 0db);

- set the eq type to classic (z-iso will alter the audio)

- disable the eq section on traktor interface to not touch it accidentaly.

- set your gains on the mixer itself always as close as possible to 0db;

Always use a High quality USB Cable ( I run Chroma L-conector USB's).

Audio quality on my setup is excellent - no problems at all.

Sorry for the poor english, i'm from Brazil

Good luck! 

Personally, I've run it in external mixer mode with the auto gain (in Traktor) disabled, and then simply cue and adjust each track as it's loaded - the same way I do with any source with the mixer.
