I use turntables so not really had experience setting this up. I am pretty sure that you can just plug your CDJ in to your computer via USB and just the HID mode. This means you will not need to buy a sound card as it uses the CDJ's inboard ones.

if you're trying to hook up 2 CDJs over something like traktor scratch and then back into your mixer you're gonna need a 4-in 4-out - while you're working with 2 decks, each deck uses 2 channels (left and right.)

if you're using the 2 CDJs in HID mode (sounds like you are) then you're only going to need 4 outs, though you'll probably find them paired with 4 ins on any DJ-oriented sound card. send the sound out over that interface, with each deck's out assigned to a pair of channels (deck A on 1 and 2, deck B on 3 and 4) and plug the RCA outs from your interface into your mixer where you would have plugged in the CDJs. Also, you can set Traktor's mixer mode to external so you don't accidentally close a channel on your computer with the keyboard and wonder what the hell's going on. Then you should be able to use the CDJs to control Traktor while controlling levels, eq, etc. on your normal mixer.

thanks m8 think i understand now

just to recap.. you dont need to buy a sound card. Just take the audio from each CDJ out and plug into you mixer.

No, Jamthrax is right - there's no need to buy a sound card here. Each of the CDJ-850s has a USB sound card in it, so you would be better served by hooking up the CDJs like you would normally (via analogue RCA to the mixer.) To get traktor to be able to use all the CDJs as outputs you'll need the CDJ aggregator ( http://www.pioneer.eu/eur/products/4...850/media.html ) which will let you combine them all into one virtual device. Traktor will output the sound through the RCA jacks on the CDJ and you'll be able to play with them like normal.
