    Default Thinking of getting a DDM4K and X1 with a M-Audio fast track pro

    But I've got a couple of questions.

    Firstly with the fast track pro will that allow me to use all 4 channels on the mixer. Plus I cant quite get my head round this external mixing idea, will this mean I can still record my mixes in traktor, or will I have to have the audio from the mixer going back into my pc to another programme to record it.

    finally level with me is the behringer any good, in the past they have been known for slightly crappy quality.

    Nope, you need 8 output channels (= 4 stereo pairs) for that, the Fast Track Pro only got 4.

    Well, you have to have to connect the mixer's output with your interface's input - but no need for an additional program, Traktor has the option to record this input.

    since when did you get such a great knowledge of audio interfaces?!

    I'm keen to see if anything else gets said on here as I'm quite interested in the DDM.

    Also Skit I'm ill, like throwing up for the past 3 days ill, it sucks big time. I've not been to work this year yet.

    That sucks dude, sorry to hear that man.

    I pick things up, along the way, you know

    Looks like I am going to have to ditch the Audio2DJ or else I can't record a mix now I am external.

    Think I can go back to the fast track pro though, thankfully.

    Get some 4 "Y" splitters, and turn your 2 stereo channels into 4 mono channels (each mono will then be split into twin mono which you can connect to your DDM4K). Then you'll be able to use all 4-channels on the DDM4K.

    Only reason NOT to do this is because the stereo effects on your lappy won't work. But you'll have stereo effects on the DDM4K...
