So when's this new NI soundcard coming out?

[Ed Paris]

i have not seen this anywhere yet just the tsp/due packges and the tpro and due software

just got an email from native which is saying:
TRAKTOR DUO: nur 49 €
TRAKTOR PRO: nur 99 €
TRAKTOR SCRATCH DUO: nur 179 €
TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO: nur 299 €

and tspro includes the audio8

I think people are missing my point here.

I'm saying. The S4 edition of Traktor has some nice new features.

You can only use these features if you have an S4

But what if you want these features with Vinyl Control, and you don't want an S4.

So suppose they release new soundcards, that work with the sample tracks etc in the s4 version of traktor.

And yes this thread is mostly shit stirring. Especially if they end up putting everything back to full price.

The fact that the Interfaces on their own, aren't half price, suggests this might happen.

allright. s4 software will be only for the s4 controller. have u ever thought about the fact, that ni maybe will release something like a new traktor pro? then they might also release a new soundcart. but like i said, the s4 will be only available with the controller. no chance on purchasing the s4 software on it´s own.

It's generally accepted that there will be a new version of Traktor within the next few months incorporating the S4's new features like sample decks.

You don't need a new soundcard to support that, A soundcard's a soundcard and there are good ones and bad ones. The NI A2,4 and 8 are all very good soundcards and there's no need for NI to replace them just yet.

@Rumblejazz - why it is technically possible for NI to release new soundcard 'dongles' that will only work with future versions of Traktor, the existing ones are advanced enough to be able to throw pretty much anything you can throw at them

eg. The S4 soundcard is basically just an audio4

Just trying to think of the features they could possibly add to the Audio 8. Maybe a drink cooler on the top and a built in WiFi router

They could stick some jog wheels, encoders and buttons on an audio4 and bundle it with a special version of the Traktor software? Or is that too radical?

Wow man, awesome idea... That would probably be the most anticipated controller in recent memory, if not ever...

Just imagine if they released that. With a few teaser videos on youtube this forum and others like it would be going crazy. Shame it would never happen

@lethal

Lol i have no more more to add to this thread, i don't actually think any of this is going to happen. I was just intrigued has to how NI could afford this price slash.

I personally think it could be to clear out boxed copies of Scratch prior to a 2.0 update but it could be, like they say, to celebrate winning awards. If so, it is pretty generous!
