How To Set Up A Mic On Traktor Pro 2

When MIX is turned all the way to the right (100%) you only hear the audio from the Master Output of TRAKTOR (the music playing on your speakers). Pull up the volume fader of the Deck that is playing in order to hear the Master Output signal via your headphones. The VOL knob sets your headphone output volume.

Hi,
I currently use a vci 100 and audio kontrol 1 with traktor pro.
I have a standard PC mic, and i want to record my voice over mixes, like a short radio podcast or something.
So i am using a 3.5mm to 6.3mm (small to big jack) converter and plugging it into the line in on the ak 1, (not that massive inch diameter mic socket).
Is there a setting in traktor i need to select for my voice to be herd over the set?
I have been struggling for ages. I have a live gig comming up, and i have a small clip on microphone that i want to use. I was assuming that there was a microphone on/off button in traktor. Am i mistaken? I want my voice to be herd!
Can somebody help me?
Thank you very much.
Phil
