Your perfect external audio interface?
Ok, boys and girls tell me what would your perfect external audio interface look like (with regards to I/O primary but hell, name even the color you like to have it in if it affects you in any meaningful way :lol:)
Why am I asking? Because I realised that the choice for DJs are rather limited in a way. It has come down to Rane if you want to use Serato (ok, there's nothing we can do about it) and NI Audio range if you want to use anything else (that forces you to pay premium for timecode functionality even if you don't use it). For years the major club standard mixers have digital RCA inputs and yet none of NI and Rane interfaces have digital outputs for example.
So my list of features would be:
- digital RCA outputs for individual decks
- lockable USB port with supplied matching cable and a option to use a standard non-lockable one if needed
- individual phono/line switches for each deck (hardware or software)
- 1/4" headphone output and balanced TRS outputs (switchable from 1/2 to 7/8 channel) for using with internal mixing mode
- 5-pin midi in/out
- plastic fold-out legs so you can securely place it on it's side (something like on the NI D2)
