Mixer to controll traktor, how?

**WastedYouth** · 03-23-2013, 09:53 AM

Dear DJTT!

I'm working on my setup, and decided that I don't want a S4, VCI-400 - alike mixer, but I want an external mixer.
How can I get a 4-channel mixer working with Traktor.
It doesn't have to be a Traktor Certified Mixer, just a 'cheap' 4 channel mixer.

But how can I controll the EQ and pre-listen (monitor) my 4 channels?
Do I really have to buy an overpriced Audio 8 from NI?

Or what are my options?

Thanks a lot for the advice guys!

WY!

Well the soundcard doesn't need to be from NI, but you will need a soundcard yes.

I'm a bit 'noobish' at this point, I don't know much about soundcards for 4 channel mixers..
An audio 2 is not good enough probably?
I need an audio 8 (or alike product from another company)?

audio 8 / 10 have added benefit of being scratch certified if you ever do want decks

You can get a mixer with a built-in sound card for much less than getting a mixer and an Audio 10 separately.

As Makar1 said, you can get it all in one cheaper.

The Audio 10 is £250 on its own, but the Behinger DDM4000, with built in 4 channel soundcard is only £340.
