New Traktor Soundcard Pics

[Steve Zorilow]

good idea, so no one will ever use them

[JesC]

they look dope.

why should they be firewire 800. The improved though rate would have no differnce to the sound, yes it is a hardware based protocol so you could have lower latency theoreticly, but pritty much no differnce.

There resources would be better spent making more stable drivers so that if the usb cable does get yanked during a set you can plug it back in and the sound comes pritty much str8 back on.

Oh yea 99% of laptops have usb 2.0 only about 50% have firewire. So half the people wouldnt be able to use it. Firewire will dissapear over the next 3 years so would be a pritty dumb move.

I beleive firewire is also licenced by appe not sure on this so would put up the cost

The next soundcards from NI the ones after these might be USB 3.0

Hope this wasn't the big thing for Feb. :X

What do we think of these? Not official, but looks real enough and was instantly removed from the NI forum.
No word on dual USBs.

dj's around here bring their own soundcard and plug it in, no need for such things as dual usb. But i only know about the clubs in the area me and some friends worked in the clubs, maybe it is different in Frankfurt or Berlin, but i doubt it.

i also needed some time to think of the use of dual usb on the new serato soundcard just didn't occur to me that there are clubs that place a soundcard in the booth.

Man that Audio 6 is basically exactly what I want. What a kick in the teeth since I have aquired and Audio 4 within the last few months... maaaaayn. Anyone in england want to buy and Audio 4? It's better value than the Audio 6 if you're not interested in firing off samples! :P

Looks like no Dual USB happening. Not a bummer for me, but now they really have to provide the best (software) experience in order to get people on(or over from Serato) to these - especially when it comes to club installations...

I'm still wondering how they did the back to back set in the teaser video with 2 laptops? Maybe they used 2 soundcards, chained together using the thru functionality on one of them?

Pretty sweet, no word on the TA2? Wish it was a TA3

[Ashigari]

so did i get this right? with the audio 6 you can use 2 decks + route the sample deck(s) into the 3rd and use a 3 external channel mixer and have nearly the same control like using an audio 8 + the new software?
