    Default Sample decks?

    Let me know if you this will work.

    I'm using a 2 channel mixer with 2 mic inputs and an audio 8 dj.

    Channel 1- Deck A
    Channel 2- Deck B

    Can I route both sample decks into one of my mic inputs or both?

    Only if you can set those inputs to line level.

    I know that I can have them in the line in the rear and switch back on forth between that on the phono/line or have them routed to channel 1/channel 2 along with the decks but I don't want them to be controlled by the crossfader. I just want them on all the time.

    This is what im thinking. RCA to 1/4 inch input into the mic input. Would it work?

    I don't believe you can. It just says on/off/talk.

    i dont know if you would want to but inturnally in traktor you can set up multiple outputs to one channel, for example:
    I mix currently with a two channel mixer and an A4DJ but i have Traktor scratch pro 2. So in the Output routeing section you can set up multiple decks to one output so my set up is decks A&C to channel one and B&D to channel 2

    Sounds like carl has the only sensible solution.

    Yeah I know I can do it that way, but really don't want the sample decks to be controlled with the crossfader.

    Looks like you're going to have to upgrade your mixer

    OR

    get a tiny mixer and route the samplers + the master from the DJ mixer into that one.
    http://www.dv247.com/studio-equipmen...e-mixer--34407 <-- That kinda crap. I'm not gunna vouch for this product. It's just the cheapest mixer that came up.

    Damn, I guess I'll just have to start searching with something with a session in or something.

    This is what I read in the manual. I guess I still don't understand completely why just running into the mic channel won't work even though its not a line input being its the same impedance and all. I'm kinda new to this so if you can explain why it won't work that would help a lot. Sorry If I just keep repeating myself.

    Line/Aux: 10kΩ input impedance, 5.6mV rms sensitivity for 1.0V output
    Mic: 10kΩ input impedance, 1mV rms sensitivity for 1.0V output
