Cueing: Audiofire 4 / Audio 8 DJ

[michele]

Hello Everybody,

This is my first post here. I've just ordered a VCI-100 arcade edition and I am looking for a good soundcard able to manage 4 decks on Traktor.
I was keen on the Audiofire 4, but after reading the Djtechtools review I am a little bit confused about the cueing system. I will be mixing internally, and I thought it was possible to switch between the decks to cue just via Traktor. If I understand correctly, this is not possible instead.
Is there a soundcard that allows to manage the cueing via this software? An Audio 8 DJ for instance? Or even with it you need to use the switch on the front panel?

Many thanks,

Michele

You only need an Audio8 if you plan on going the timecode route. For Internal mixing any 4 output card will do the trick. The Audio4 would be your best bet. You can monitor straight off the card, or plug the second channel into a mixer and monitor off that.

Cool. Its a great sounding, bulletproof card and a sweet investment

Congrats on you new sound card. I have the 8 and love it. They are undistructible and easy to setup in Taktor.
