    Do I need to make my outputs EXTERNAL or INTERNAL in tracktor,

    and when I download a midi map which things in my mixer(MIDI) menu do I need to cross there are:

    MIC
    SAMPLER
    CROSSFADER
    CH-1
    CH-2
    CH-3
    CH-4
    then there are MUTES beside each

    Also when I enable those My mixer lights go off even if they are bound, is that right and is there any way to avoid it?

    light will go off when using certain parts of mixer
    like mic sampler crossfader sections
    as midi controller

    I have another problem, my midi will not work when I set the mixer to work externally, only in the internal option. This way I can't leave 2 channels for audio and use the rest of the mixer for midi.

    Whenever I switch to External none of my midi commands work anymore.

    Can anybody help?

    What am I doing wrong.

    DDM4000 Midi External/Internal problem
    I just want to start with the fact that I was a complete and total 0 yesterday night when I bought my first mixer... I have pretty much got the basics down and almost done with my setup, except for this problem.

    I am trying to use my 4channel midi mixer DDM4000(4 channel + 1 mic channel MIDI mixer) channel 2/3 as an external mixer and the rest of the mixer as midi controller, but midi only seems to work when you switch the output to internal. I have an external soundcard NIO 2|4, it has 4 outputs and a midi in/out.

    Basically I have my Output from the mixer going to the speakers, then I got 2 pairs of RCA cables going to channel 2 and 3 in the mixer and output 1/2 and 3/4 in the soundcard.

    When I use external output mode in Traktor Pro, I can use my channels to EQ and so on. BTW mixer gains knobs aren't midi assignable.... pretty smart IMO. Crossfading works and I can monitor nicely, but there are no default pitch on the mixer, so I need to use midi to assign something, well if I want to use midi I have to switch to internal mode in which I can't monitor in, because when I hit the binds for PFL A or B it PFLS A only. I have downloaded midi maps and they say I can use my interface to monitor.

    I have spent countless hours trying to find the solution to this on different forums but no luck for now. Maybe one of you guys can help me out.

    EDIT: Also if I use my internal function and use my NIO 2 4 to monitor and the "PFL Traktor Internal buttons" I can prelisten but the audio leaks into the master channel, not a lot but enough to hear.

    The only USB I have connected to computer is from my soundcard.

    Thanks in advance.
