2 Sound Cards in Traktor

is it possible to run two audio cards in traktor to run 4 decks to a mixer example a audio 4 dj and an M-Audio Fast Track Pro Sound card?

You can use asio4all drivers but latency may become a issue.

3

think you can if you merge the two cards together but it uses a fair bitta cpu… cant remember how to do it but i did it before with a crap usb card and main laptop card so i could headphone cue and it had soo many sound glitches

4

why? when you can get cards that do this in one unit? :confused:

5

if you have a mac you can do this in Audio Midi Setup. Windows needs ASIO4ALL.

6

Money is an issue

the reason i cant is because my budget to upgrade my gear is 1200 and thats with selling my mixer. so subtract 750 for a Xone 42 that leaves 455 for small powered speakers probably berhingers for 350 and that leaves 105 for a sound card or a could get the sound card but no speakers… i love djin but the prices dammm

7

can’t the audio 4 be used to run 4xmono outputs?

8

go on. i dont need scratch control how would i do this

9

but wait mono sounds bad so no
right?

10

don’t have one personally so not tried it, but should be something like connect one side of each out to a mixer channel, so…
leftside output 1 > channel a on mixer, rightside output 1 > b on mixer etc..

then in output routing set it as left a > 1 / left b > 2 / left c > 3 / left d > 4 so it’s only outputting the left side to each channel on physical mixer, would need a splitter to put a signal into both sides of each mixer channel

doesnt work they are ins

12

meh… i tried :stuck_out_tongue:

13

that would work, but ideally stereo is better.

14

brad gets points?

15

Dont like the idea of mono outputs.My ears are extremely sensitive to stereo and on mono it sounds bad to me

16

true but a money saving work around is a money saving work around

17

I completely agree should i get the audio 10 and and speakrs stick with my chan x6 mixer and save up for the allen and heath

18

Points for Brad :smiley:

Traktor has mono switches I believe, so this is totally doable. Just depends how much you value stereo. I can’t imagine poison by the prodigy sounds great in mono.

“I got the poison” … “mumbling”

Well I mix trance so there’s kinda of a evening balance in some tracks and the sweeps from left to right.
Like the intro edit I just did has a sound the outputs through the left only and would sound odd on mono imho =p
