This is mapping from forum member Eguerr731 huge thanks for creating and sharing this mapping to everyone!
- The full Traktor version is priced at 99 bucks as of 2020, while Rekordbox is priced at 129 dollars instead, and so if you are on a tight budget it might be wise to choose Traktor, especially considering the fact that it's a full version with no upsell or any hidden charges.
- Traktor Pro 2 S2 Vs Traktor 3 Download There have been substantial updates to Native Instruments’ Traktor Pro 3 DJ software in the past few months, and as Pioneer DJ’s Rekordbox DJ software continues to mature and grow in popularity, now seems like the perfect time to put these two DJ platforms head to head to see how they stack up against.
Consult this article to learn how to upgrade from TRAKTOR LE 2 to TRAKTOR PRO 2. Create an empty folder for your TRAKTOR content in your external harddrive and name it accordingly. You can name this folder 'Traktor Content', for example. Copy all three folders (Samples, Recordings and Remix Sets), onto the Traktor Content folder.

If you don't already know, with the Z2 you have to mix internally in rekordbox software because of how the Z2 soundcard only outputs to the 'monitor' and 'master' channels. Not a bad thing as you get post fader effects this way but it has a couple of quirks in the mapping. I have included in the Controller Editor Template you may have to load to Z2 first.
So, in this mapping all the mixer controls obviously do what you'd expect them to.
Traktor S2 Mk3 Rekordbox Mapping
-one quirk is the mixer headphone cue buttons, volume, and mix/cue knobs are not midi. the volume and mix/cue knobs work still as the control the sound between the monitor/master channels within the mixer, but when you start up rekordbox you have to manually set within the software, mix knob all the way to the left (cue) and headphone level knob up to get good volume out to the monitor channel. it seems to reset everytime rekordbox is restarted. (I have mapped shift+low eq knobs to control this just to more easly adjust at start up but then you can forget about it).
-Headphone cue buttons are mapped to the S and Q buttons above the 'Browse encoder. 'S' button for channel 1, and 'Q' button for channel 2.
-Browse/load work as expected with shift+load being Instant Doubles.

-I have only 4 hotcues mapped per channel to the pads, with shift and hotcue being delete. You could Map the other hotcues to shift function instead.
-Shift+effect on button toggles up through different effects. I use effects in 'single' mode and ave the knob under wet/dry control effects knob 2, and deck C and D knobs mapped to effects knob 3.
-The A,C and B,D buttons above the hotcues change the effects beat sizes
