Using a mixer with Ableton?

Hi, so my current setup is this, Numark m1 usb mixer, Macbook Pro, Native Instruments Audio 2 dj Soundcard, and a akai mpd32 as my midi controller.
I just recently bought a mixer, and I have a gig coming up in one week but i have no idea how to rout/ hook up my mixer to Ableton.

It would be great if I could get some help, brand new to ableton forums :D

Thanks! cheers. 8O

Depends if you want to have

A. the Master as one stereo out and monitoring as another stereo out
or
B. Various Live channels routed directly to sound card outputs

Either way
1. hook up sound card outputs to channel inputs on the mixer
2. enable sound card outputs in Ableton preferences
3. choose A or B and then decide which channels in Live go to which outputs on the card
