Big problem with VCI 100

[ArmstromG]

Today I recived my VCI 100.
The Traktor LE CD that came with it got slight broken and now I cant install it.

Now I have a few questions , please be kind to answer me :
1.I downloaded the demo version of Traktor 3.
Does it have the same options as the Traktor LE?

2.When I tried to use the crossfader it didn't work at all as well as the volume faders of the 2 decks (sorry if Im not being exact on the names).
Is it connected to the traktor version?

3.Im not hearing the same volume on both decks when I play there a song.
(can't move between 2 decks because crossfader isn't working) , so I just tried to see if the volume is the same on both decks , it appears not.

4.In case the faders don't work in the LE\Demo version whatever , only if I upgrade to Pro I can get this features or I can upgrade to a lower level of Traktor and still get it?

P.S : Im not using a soundcard atm so I kinda get lame sound from my speakers , does it affect other stuff?

Edit : I saw that Demo and LE version are 2 different things.
Is the LE version downloadable?

1. traktor 3 is an older version but i believe, i've never used it, has more features than LE. I would recommend you purchase TP...it is the best most stable version out there.

2.The reason the crossfader isn't working is because you are in external mixing mode, i remember i had that problem. go to settings and select internal mixing in the "output routing" section.

3. Not sure about this one.

4. If you get an LE license, or a duo license, the Crossfade should work, just make sure you are in internal mixing mode.

Happy New Years,
Doctor Mogal.

EDIT: Oh, and not having a soundcard means you can't cue up songs on your headphone, which can be an issue...cause you won't be able to listen to a song unless its playing.

EDIT 2: LE is not downloadable, it is special for the hardware you purchase, but it does come with things like the audio 2 dj sound card, which if you're planning on dj'ing live is a great deal for you.(its what i use)

[DoctorMogal]

Oh and a question, is this a VCI-100 MKII or the older version? Cause the new one has a soundcard built into it.

[ArmstromG]

Thank you for your help, and yeah it's the older version of vci 100 it doesn't have a soundcard inside it.

One last thing is I have 2 options for a external soundcard :
1.Numark Dj IO.
2.Audio 2 Dj.

What's better?
EDIT : I didn't understand yet what goes into what.
The VCI 100 connects to the soundcard , and the the soundcard to the PC or the VCI 100 connects to the PC and the soundcard connects to the PC as well.

Download the Traktor demo from the NI site and I think you can enter the LE code and it'll work, but I'm not 100% sure on that. There's one day left in the 50% off sale for Traktor now. I would take advantage of that as Pro unlocks tons of features.

The Audio 2 is better. After you get everything run the setup wizard and it'll ask you the questions you need to set it up correctly.

[ArmstromG]

Thanks it worked , and I'll think about upgrading to pro seems like a good option.

[DoctorMogal]

Audio 2 is what I use. It has the same components as aduio 8 dj which is used professionally around the world, so I'd recommend it over the numark.

And they both connect separately to your computer.

just replace the second mixer in the pic with speakers

Sorry for posting again, but i found the best diagram you're gonna get.

Thanks mate

the answer to number 3 is that you need to raise the deck gain on your own (in pro its automatic)

raise the gain till the audio levels just barely touch the top.
