    Default kontrol x1

    How can I connect 2 X1's on my mixer? do I need a sound card like the Audio 10?
    I have the DJM 800 And 2 CDJ's 2000, would like to have a digital set up.

    You connect them to your computer via USB, not to the mixer. Which mixer are you using? Please give some more details about your setup so we can give better advice.

    In that case, the mixer doesn't have a built in sound card so yes you need an external. Now you just need to decide how many outputs you need.

    The X1's are midi controllers that connect to your computer. They have nothing to do with sound, but are essentially just a type of fancy keyboard that are made to control Traktor. As far as a sound interface goes you need at least an Audio 8 to use all four channels of the 800. You would connect the sound card to the computer and the sound from Traktor travels out of the USB to the sound card where you take RCA's from the outs on the sound card and plug them into the ins on the mixer. Traktor pro and at least one X1 to control the transport of Traktor.

    If you want to use CDJ's or turntables that's a whole other discussion.

    If you have 2000s, you can aggregate their built in sound cards into one device and use that as your traktor output. Pioneer have guides or you can google 'aggregate sound card' for your operating system.
