    Default Question about which soundcard to get???

    I just traded my 4trak for a Behringer ddm4000 and a Novation Launchpad. My setup consists of 2 Launchpads and 1 DDM4000. I want to use one launchpad as deck A and the other launchpad as Deck B. I want to use the mixer as the mixer, not as a midi controller. Can I use an Audio 2 Dj and just route the audio through the mixer? Or should I get a different soundcard? I hope that made sense...If not, I made a VERY DETAILED drawing of what I am trying to say.

    DDM4000 has its own soundcard I thought...

    edit: I'm stupid. It doesn't.

    The audio 2 DJ should work, but I'd suggest a larger card so you can use the other channels of the DDM4000 if you ever choose to expand.

    yeah, the audio 2 will work, but like SlvrDragon50 says, you will only be able to use 2 mixer channels via traktor (with external mixing). you could use cdjs or turntables with the other 2 channels, but not with timecode.

    yea you'd be doing exactly what's in the picture. You'd plug in your headphones into the mixer. This is the same thing I was doing when I had a DDM4000 and Audio2.

    i'd go for something more than a audio dj 2

    as 1 of your channels will be used for monitor.. so basically you will only have EQ on one channel (unless you mapped it with midi)

    The Audio 6 only has 3 stereo output channels.

    this ... if you would like four channels, go with an audio8dj or audio 10

    you wouldn't be using one of the audio 2 channels for the monitor. you can have both outputs each routing a traktor channel and the monitoring will be done via the mixer.

    you could also midi map the other 2 channels in traktor. you could have 2 external and 2 internal (though that would pose a problem if you are going to be recording your sets). but as the others said if you want 4 external channels you would have to get an audio 8/10 for this since the a6 only has 3 outputs. you could also combine deck c and d into the 3rd channel if you want.

    Edit: I don't think you can have internal and external routing work in this manner (simultaneously) with that setup. Sorry, I want thinking properly.
