Xone: K2 Thread

Yepp, the volume is indeed significantly lower.

So what's the issue with turning up the gain?

[kallekenkel]

Well the output volume really is significantly (!) lower than that of a CDJ or an NI Audio soundcard...
So you have to turn up the gain in Traktor a lot, and as well on the mixer.. If you then play a track with comparatively low volume (worst case..), you have nowhere to go as the gain may already be turned up all the way.

Even with gains to the max it's not loud as I'd like it to be! (And no I'm not a crank it to the max moronic person)

[MrPopinjay]

What mixer are you using? There cannot be many mixers where you can turn the gain up all the way with a K2 plugged in and not be clipping the mixer. Are you sure that you haven't got the volume down in the software? Are you sure you're not clipping?

I mean I have records that with my needles are about 1/3 the volume of an audio4 and I still have the gain turned down about 40% from max when I play them on my Nuo 2.0.

Any reason why Traktor isn't recognizing my k2 as a midi device unless I enter setup mode and then exit it each time before I start Traktor? It recognizes the sound card just fine without having to do that.

Happens to me also (MBA late 2010), but only about every 5 starts... The "enter setup, exit setup" helps.. Not sure why.

I'm using a Macbook as well. Heard of anyone else it happens to?

Are you clipping? Do you get the problem when you use it with other programs?
