MIXTRACK is a plug-and-play device, which means that the first time you connect the controller to your computer all necessary drivers will be installed automatically. Please use the attached USB cable to connect the MIXTRACK controller to an available USB port on your PC. If connecting through a USB hub, however, we recommend that you use a powered hub.

You will see a few pop-up windows, similar to the one on the right, displayed in the bottom right corner of your screen. Please allow MIXTRACK to automatically initialize all the necessary drivers. When the installation is complete, you will see "Your new hardware is installed and ready to use" message, shown on the right. The installation is now complete and the controller is ready to use.
