    Default question for audio 8 dj owners

    so im impatiently waiting for my audio 8 to arrive, but out of curiosity while i wait, does anyone know if the headphone out put has its own channel?
    or is it shared with outputs a,b,c or d?

    It's a monitor for Input 5/6 or output 7/8. There is a source selection button directly underneath the volume knob to select between these two options. So, it is not it's own channel.

    Well, at least as far as I can tell. I've only had mine for a week.

    awesome! thank you.
    how do you like it so far? are you using it with time coded vinyl or a controller?

    Not yet. I just upgraded from Traktor 3.4 to Traktor Scratch Pro, and have had some bugs to work out in the process. I have only had the Audio 8 hooked up using the internal mixer. I have a track issue I'm currently fixing... Hopefully will test the time code tonight along with the new Batch file I created for XP. Also, I'm waiting for my VCI-100SE Arcade to come in... CAN'T WAIT!!

    So far, it's works great. Traktor makes it easy to assign the inputs and outputs however you want.

    Asumming your using all of those outputs and mixing on an external mixer than you can just plug your headphones into your 4 channel mixer instead. So theres really no reason for cueing on your soundcard if your mixing externally.

    I have had my Audio8 since it was released (bought it with the Traktor Scratch upgrade). I love it. It's loud, it's sturdy and it can be moved around without breaking. I don't use it with timecode anymore, and it works like a charm that way too.

    My only gripe is my headphone port is a little shaky (might lose some signal) but I just shake it and it works. I think this is just my unit, though, and not all of them.

    The headphone output is channel 7/8, but if you're using all of your channels to DJ you should probably be using an external mixer and you'll cue out of that.

    well im going to be mixing internally with vci and externally with my decks on my xone 32. as far as external cuing goes, that was a no brainer, im not that slow hahah

    i was just wondering how the outputs were routed. now that i think about it, kindof a pointless question...

    anybody using the audio 8 with 2 tables and a cdj though?

    How would you be using it? You can't use CD timecode and Vinyl timecode at the same time (I believe).

    So if you have a four channel mixer then the audio8 wouldn't even be involved with the CD deck.

    That I don't know. Don't own CD decks to test either. Anyone else?
