Using TRAKTOR AUDIO 2 as Your Computer's Default
Audio Output Device
In order for the TRAKTOR AUDIO 2 to operate as your computer's default audio output device,
you will need to select it within the system's audio preferences. In the following sections, you
will learn how to set up the TRAKTOR AUDIO 2 as your computer's default audio output de-
vice. For information on using the TRAKTOR AUDIO 2 as your music software's audio output
device, see section
6.7, Using TRAKTOR AUDIO 2 as Audio Output Device with Your Music
.
Before selecting the TA2 as your computer's default audio output device here are some points
to be aware of:
▪
When using TRAKTOR on a Windows system, make sure that you have installed the TA2
hardware driver with the latest TRAKTOR software, or you download and install the TA2
hardware driver as described in the following section
6.1, Driver Software Installation on
, before you connect the TA2 to your computer.
▪
The TA2 may not work properly connected to a USB hub. Connect it directly to a USB
port on your computer.
▪
It is recommended to connect computer speakers to the
MAIN
output and headphones to
the Headphones output sockets of TA2 since the TA2 Headphone output will automatical-
ly monitor the Main signal by default.
By default, the audio sent to the
MAIN
output will also be sent to the headphone output as
well. This makes it much easier to use TA2 because you can leave headphones and com-
puter speakers connected simultaneously and never have to make any changes to the oper-
ating system's audio settings to use either of them. This is because the Cue Mix encoder is
set so that the Headphone output monitors the Main signal by default. You can therefore
adjust the volume of the computer speakers using the volume control on the speakers
themselves. Then, adjust the headphone volume independently with the Headphones Vol-
ume Encoder on the TA2.
