Issues with Headphone Cueing on Traktor Z1 MK2. Is This Normal?
I recently bought the new Traktor Z1 MK2, but I’m having an issue with headphone cueing. When I plug my headphones into the Z1, I can’t hear the cue or mix directly through them. The only way I get it to work is by setting Output 3/4 for the monitor in the software settings, and Output 1/2 for the master on the RCA…

Is it possible to use media players like a cdj to control the channels of a z1 mk2?
I currently have an x1 mk3 and love it. However I want to upgrade with an external mixer. I like how compact the z1 is, but i'm wondering how much use I will get in the future. Does anyone have any experience using the z1 mk2 and using a media player like a cdj to control a channel in traktor.

Z1 MK2 - crash after Traktor Pro 4 startup
hi! I have an issue with my z1 mk2: Traktor 4 (4.1.1) crashes every time I connect the z1 mk2 before I fire up Traktor. When I start the software without the z1 mk2 everything works fine - until I plug the z1 mk2 in. What strikes me as odd is that the two z1mk2 tabs in the settings menu don’t show up when the device is not…
Configure the X1 Mk3 as Stem Controller
After seeing how stems are being controlled through the Z1 mk2 it makes total sense to be able to use the X1 to do the same thing, especially as it has the kill buttons alongside each of the dial controls. I was thinking about having a go at configuring this, but before I start I thought I'd ask two questions: 1) Has…
Why can't I send MIDI volume fader adjustments on z1mk2 when output routing is set to external?
I record my mix externally for each deck. The crossfader works perfectly and sends MIDI out. All other controls, including EQ, also send MIDI, but the line faders remain completely unresponsive. I've configured MIDI Out for “Mixer → Volume Adjust → Deck a/b/c/d.” With “Audio Internal,” everything works perfectly. Thx for…

Does anyone know how to use all pass filters to restore the phase shift from filters.
Not sure if it can be done but I was hoping to re align the phase shift inherent with low pass filters. I think all pass filters have a specific phase shift but I'm not sure if they can be placed in series with low pass filters to re establish the original phase before filtering. Does anyone have any experience with this?
