DJ interface alternatives

[FNDR]

Hi,

I'm particularly new here and i'm glad i'm a member of this site now.
i've learned so much.

i have a noob question. is there any alternative dj interface other than m-audio torq, serato scratch and NI audio dj? would a regular audio interface like m-audio fastrack pro do?

i would really appreacite you spending a little time answering this silly question

A regular interface is fine, just realise that you need the companies personal interface if you wish to use timecode vinyl or timecode cd's.

Thank you so much Bentosan. i have 2 stanton turntables and rane mixer already, does this mean i'm just going to need the timecoded vinyls and the software?

Thats means you need an Audio8 an Audio 4 or a traktor certified mixer to use Traktor pro with your turntables.

I see. thanks. i'll start saving up

afaik audio4 doesnt work with timecode.... its just the audio 8 or a certified mixer...

Are you sure about that? i was doing some reading around and everything i have read says it can - it just requires an upgrade to Traktor Scratch Pro for Vinyl timecode support.

isn't there shortage of ins and outs in case of AUDIO 4? or on the other hand, AUDIO 8 has 4 totaly expendable outs that are not required for DVS setup?

so that means, if i want to have DVS system and i got already classic Fast Track PRO i need just to buy this: http://www.native-instruments.com/in...scratchupgrade ???

assuming that i got it right, plz correct or aprove following:
Internal mixing will be done with traktor and Fast track pro ins will be used to connect turntables
External mixing needs 4 channel mixer? or 2 channel will do just fine?

Note:

Two Stereo RCA ins for turntables - i.e for Digital Vinyl Control

Two Stereo Outs to mixer, for external mixing if needed.

Headphone jack is assume is an independent stereo-channel for monitoring

if not. you can monitor on an external mixer.

OR

Mix internally, and connect stereo output 1/2 to sound sound system

and connect stereo output 3/4 to headphones (via adaptor) to monitor.

P.S This is all just my musings

Splendid. So Auido8 has two more channels to be used. I will go most likely with the whole Scratch PRO package even though i could try it through my Fast Track. First of, i dont trust Fast Track PRO that it will handle it properly (not with low latency) and i wanted better and more rock solid audio interface anyway.

But can someone inspire me what can i do with those 2 extra stereo channels (assuming i will mix externaly)? Is there some AUDIO 8 user that can share experience?
