    Default DVS Timecode for any soundcard?

    Hi,

    I have recently moved from a controller setup to a forming dvs setup. I have turntables and a mixer, but i dont want to have to spend 200+ on a new soundcard for traktor as I already have a perfectly good soundcard which i use for producing. (Its an Echo AudioFire 4 if thats any help) Can i change the executable file in the traktor folder (Mac OS X) using a hex editor to eliminate having to buy a traktor soundcard as well? Ive seen videos on how to do it with a Xone DB4 but i dont know if this works with this specific soundcard or any other one. Im also planning on buying a Focusrite 2i4 to replace the Echo if its not possible with that one.

    Cheers guys

    Your sound card doesn't have the correct inputs (phono level).

    Welcome.

    Instead of spending £150 on the Focusrite and using a cracked and hacked copy if Traktor Scratch Pro.
    Why don't you save the £150, sell the Echo and use the money buy the Traktor Audio 6 that comes with Traktor Scratch Pro and all the required components at £250 and do it the legal way instead of being a cheat.

    A little thought, effort and bit more money will get you a quality setup instead of a cracked, dodgy setup.

    Food for thought.

    Karlos nailed it. Sell the Echo and get an A6.

    Some of the DVS software can work with any soundcard. And you can get by without a phono preamp if the software allows it and the soundcard is good quality, which yours will be.

    If you're adventurous you could try the open-source DVS on Linux (it's free), called xwax.
