    Default Mixer to controll traktor, how?

    Dear DJTT!

    I'm working on my setup, and decided that I don't want a S4, VCI-400 - alike mixer, but I want an external mixer.
    How can I get a 4-channel mixer working with Traktor.
    It doesn't have to be a Traktor Certified Mixer, just a 'cheap' 4 channel mixer.

    But how can I controll the EQ and pre-listen (monitor) my 4 channels?
    Do I really have to buy an overpriced Audio 8 from NI?

    Or what are my options?

    Thanks a lot for the advice guys!

    WY!

    Well the soundcard doesn't need to be from NI, but you will need a soundcard yes.

    I'm a bit 'noobish' at this point, I don't know much about soundcards for 4 channel mixers..
    An audio 2 is not good enough probably?
    I need an audio 8 (or alike product from another company)?

    audio 8 / 10 have added benefit of being scratch certified if you ever do want decks

    You can get a mixer with a built-in sound card for much less than getting a mixer and an Audio 10 separately.

    As Makar1 said, you can get it all in one cheaper.

    The Audio 10 is £250 on its own, but the Behinger DDM4000, with built in 4 channel soundcard is only £340.

    The DDM4000 doesn't have a USB port, let alone an interface
