The Gain knob adjusts the overall gain of the corresponding Deck in Traktor. Auto Gain mode can be used as an alternative gain mode. In Traktor, press the button next to gain to activate automatic gain level viewing mode. When Auto-Gain is enabled, the button displays the Auto-Gain stored in the Traktor song file during analysis.

The three-band EQ section can be used to sculpt the low, mid and high frequency sound of a song playing in the Deck. Low EQ can cut or boost a track’s bass, including kicks, bass, and sub-bass. Mid EQ cuts or boosts the midrange of a track, including vocals and most instruments. High EQ adds or subtracts “brightness” to a track, and Hi EQ cuts or boosts high frequencies, which include hi-hats, wrinkles, cymbals or snares, and the top end of synths and pads.

The EQ section can be customized in Traktor and set to different EQ types. Each type has its own sound, giving you more control over your mixes.

To select an EQ setting, open Traktor Preferences, navigate to the Mixer section. In the EQ/Filter section, select the equalizer type from one of six types, including Classic, P600, NUO, XONE, Z ISO, and P800. For more information, refer to our guide.
