    sold mine a long time ago, but the standard mbox 2 is 1 stereo out. So whatever is coming out your main output is what will be coming out your headphone output.

    eh no....if you're on mac you can use aggregate devices to assign your cue to your computer's headphone output. If you're on PC I have no idea.

    THe native instruments audio 2 dj will do exactly what you want for 99 euro. Although i'm guessing you're using protools le so you want to/have to keep the mbox.

    hmmmm...this is pretty complicated and last time i checked it didn't work with Traktor pro (does work with traktor 3 though). However you might get lucky.

    You've got to set up an aggregate device in an application that's in your utilities folder called 'Audio Midi Setup'.

    Then in traktor you use this aggregate device as your audio output in preferences. route your cue to your headphone output and it should (in theory) work.

    The downside is that you'll get an absolute shedload of latency in your headphones (which are connected to the computer headphone output btw), and that it most likely won't work (because i don't think Native Instruments want people using aggregate devices with traktor).
