Audio 10 - Xone 2D

[MrPopinjay]

i never ever thought of that, going by the price of used kit, doing this way costs half of that of a audio 8DJ.

I think it'd pretty dumb that it's the cheapest option. Someone really needs to full that gap in the market...

2 x NI Audio 2
Then aggregate them into one soundcard using ASIO4ALL drivers on Windows or just core audio on a Mac. Viola- 4 stereo outputs!

Other options include a second hand Audio 8 DJ (warning, may not work with USB 3.0) and the ESI Gigaport.

There's really not enough options for those wanting 4 stereo outputs, it sucks hard

how can you aggregate them?

I don't know about Macs, sorry. Limited experience with them.

With Windows install the ASIO4ALL driver, select that as your soundcard drive in your software, then open the ASIO4ALL preferences by clicking on the icon on the task bar, make sure both soundcards are selected in the window that pops up (probably want to disable your laptop's internal one) and that's it. Your software should see them both as one card now.

With Linux and ALSA I'd probably try and write a .asoundrc file that sorta creates a dummy device with the ins and outs of both of them and stick it in your home directory but that's beyond me.

Are you sure 2 SC will do? Cause I don't want to buy two and than see that it doesnt work ...

how can you aggregate them?

Audio/midi setup, new device, select both soundcards, agregate into one. i use it for all my bluetooth adaptors about my house. Dunno how well it would work in a DJ situation though, and if there would be lagging or not. plus you would have to use both your usb ports just for sound.

Your really better off going with the 2D setup mate. you can get em used for dirt cheap these days

[synthet1c]

couldn't you just rename them 2D (not certified) to a 3D (same soundcard but certified) in the registry the same way ghetto timecode worked...

[Cook]

wasnt that bug fixed ?

[synthet1c]

don't know I don't use traktor, but it might be a reasonably good way of getting tsp timecode using a better soundcard and get some extra controls at the same time

4D

Actually maybe it won't work as the product id is different, but that is only for the midi, not the soundcard.

[MrPopinjay]

I've used multiple soundcards to DJ with and not had any problems at all, so it can work just fine

If you can find a 2D cheap jump on that, they are cool.
