Hello there in Virginia, been there a few times, nice state.
Welcome to the forums, looks like you are taking the right steps. There is much to set in Traktor and unless you know what each setting does, you should probably better leave them alone. With the S2 as controller things should be pretty straightforward to setup for first time use.
If you have more questions, just post them in the appropriate forum. If you want people to know about your (mixcloud) mixes, you can post links to it in the Mixes, Music & Shows forum for maximum exposure. Also be sure to check out some of the “sticky” threads, especially the video commentary by co-moderator Terry_42. You will find those at the top of each forum.
Enjoy your stay here!
