    Default Need help with Denon Cdj's

    Hi all i would like to know if these denon players can be used as a soundcard with the Behringer ddm 4000 and Traktor Pro:
    Denon Hs5500
    Denon s3700

    If you dont understand, what i mean is that i do not want to purchase an external soundcard and optionaly use the Asio drivers in the Denon hs5500 and Denon s3700 since they both are Usb Midi..if thats possible.. I am a 15 year-old Dj on a budget and saving is good lol.
    Thanks

    You will need a sound card. They will be able to control traktor but the sound would still need to be routed out of traktor into either speakers or your mixer. They do not have a built in sound card.

    Also if your djing on a budget why are you considering gear that costs 900 when you can get a s4 for the same price which has a built in sound card.

    You DO NOT need a soundcard. My friend did this exact setup except with VDJ and you can do it because the denon cdj's have built in soundcards.

    I do apologize I reread the specs and noticed the (sound card). But that doesn't change my question. What kind of budget are you on when you are considering buying a 750$ piece of gear but can't spring 250$ for a sound card and that's if you only buy a single 3700.

    Yes thankyou guys, i knew it did have a soundcard built in i just wanted to know how you could set it up? Could you ask your friend DoctorMogal?

    And yes Bartboy i do realize those are very expensive Cdj's for me being on a budjet but i find that the resale value is very low. Mid $200's-mid $300's for the Hs5500 while the 3700 are around $500. I will probably be getting the Hs5500 since it is cheaper and has the 2 decks in 1 feature.
    Thanks guys
