    Default Difference between Audio 6 and Audio 8?

    Looking to get an interface. I see that the Audio 8 is significantly cheaper. Any reason why?

    The only reason is that the Audio 8 is no longer produced. However, if you need 4 external channels this is the way to go unless you go up to the audio 10.

    I've been reading that Traktor will crash with the current versions since NI isn't updating the drivers for the Audio 8 anymore. Sucks. I had found one for $50 in my local Craigslist.

    That sucks, indeed. So, if you are happy with 2 channels then go for the audio 6. I bet that NI isn't going to update their audio interfaces in a long time so it's going to be valid for many years.

    Actually you can get 3 stereo channels out of the Traktor Audio 6 and if you only use C and D for remix decks you could merge them into a single channel and use their volume and filter controls to mix them in.

    So should I go for it, or not worth the gamble?

    If it didn't work with one Mac, would it not work on another? I'm curious.

    its all troubleshooting. It's one thing a newer DJ needs to be good at especially when it comes to laptops and software routing.

    unless of course the unit is broken...
