    External mixing mode refers to the audio output routing, not the Midi mapping, which is why your controls are still moving. what you’re trying to do doesn’t really make sense – this mode is really intended for standalone external mixers.

    Thanks for the reply, Phil.

    Yes I was speaking about the output routing: so you confirm me that this is not possible with the Denon Mc3000?

    My next plan is to plug the master out of the Denon Mc3000 to a channel of the venue mixers where I’m going to play (probably Xone mixers, or Pioneers). Do you think is it a good idea? Or you think that, since I will mix internally in Traktor (because it seems not possible to use the Denon Mc3000 as external mixer), there is an concrete difference in sound-quality, compared to the situation where I use Traktor Audio 10 soundcard + kontrol x1 and choose external mixing on the venue mixer?

    Another question: If I do the same thing that I wanted to do (so…..plugging the master out of the Denon Mc3000 to a channel of the venue mixers where I’m going to play), but this time done with a Denon Mc6000 (in this case using external mixing mode on the Denon Mc6000….but still plugging the master out of the Denon into a channel of the venue mixer), how do you see this scenario thinking about sound-quality, compared to the other 2 scenarios?

    Thanks again for your help.
    Sorry for such questions, I’m Djing since 10 years, but I’m quite new to the digital world!

    No there’s no concrete difference in sound quality – both methods are fine.

    The second scenario doesn’t make any sense because you already have a standalone mixer there in the club, so you’re duplicating what you could do on their mixer on the MC6000.

    In all honesty I’d say use the MC3000 in internal mode, plug it into a spare channel on the club mixer, and forget the rest. The sound quality should be perfectly fine this way.
