Traktor LE Headphone Cue (Help Me!)

[Sandwichmixto]

which soundcard do suggest- that wouldnt be too expensive, because as of right know I'm on a tight budget.

- I bought 2011 skullcandy sk pros for $120
- I also bought a creative xi-fi soundblaster pro soundcard, i've read the manual and played around but still had no luck. Any tips or how to's?

Get a NI Audio 2 (or Traktor Audio 2, dunno how it's called now)

[Sandwichmixto]

is there any possibility of something cheaper?

The Numark DJ I/O would give you what you need. I've heard mixed things about the Behringer UCA222 U-Control or similar cards made by them, but at around $30 it's not exactly a bank-breaker. Should be enough to get you started. Check out the Buy/Sell forum, Craigslist, eBay, etc. and look for a used Audio 2 though, that would probably be the best option if you can get it.

EDIT: You never stated how you were controlling Traktor LE. Controller/mouse/external mixer?

So which DJ headphones did you buy??

Anyhows, pretty much ANY 4+ output channel sound card will do the trick (for now) .... I bought one of these a week or so ago for a project and its pretty alright, decent sound, low latency and it was $20 locally, I've seen them on Ebay for similar prices.

BUT if you are smart you will spend $80-100 now on a decent sound card and not need to buy another one for years to come.
