A producer starts djing (split cue problem)
Hello! It’s time for me to start djing, and I already got VCI-400 EGE. Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 DSP is my soundcard. I want to be able to use my headphones and speakers at the same time, but i can’t get the setup right. I know there are several threads about this out there, but I just can’t get it to sound right. .
Any ideas? Big thanks!
Just curious…but why don’t you use the sound card on the VCI-400?
Anyway, check that you are using the right outputs for monitor and main mix…I may be wrong, but I think the saffire pro 24 uses outputs 3/4 for the headphone out…so in essence you may have your output routing backwards. try that.
Post a screen cap of your soundcard’s routing settings (Saffire MixControl)
Your problem is all your outs are spitting Mix1, you need to reassign them.
Can you tell me exactly what to do? I haven’t done this before at all
there is a little button on the saffire just under the headphone port to put it on 1/2 or 3/4
I have no clue.
Don’t have my saffire with me so can’t open it’s mixer.
@calgarac: the buttons are for dim and mute functions in the DSP model, the regular 24 doesn’t have any.
I usually set monitor to DAW 1 / DAW 2 and line monitoring (the headphone icon in Saffire MixControl) to DAW 8 / DAW 9. Then I route those in Traktor to respective output for direct and cue.
This doesn’t make any sense. What do you route in Traktor?
These are the choises I have in Traktor:
Also, I only have “daw-options” up to 8.
Use DAW 1-2 for Monitor Output 1-2 and DAW 3-4 for Line Output 3-4.
That’s the way I have it set on my 14, it translates perfectly into any Saffire.
Read the MixControl’s manual when you have a spare min, you’ll learn how to do advanced routings and mixing on the soundcard. 
Yes unfortunately the Saffire drivers label DAW as Mon with receiving targets so you need to just think about the numbers, 1 and 2, DAW 1/2 and Mon 1/2.
I think it’s right now, but It’s just a mess in the headphones. Is it possible to get one track at one side and one track at the other? Like Deck A on the left and Deck B on the right.
Traktor doesn’t support split monitoring.
ah, anyway - thank you all for the help!
No worries mate 
Is it possible to load some effects and use them with some of the loop/cue/slicer/grafity/grid buttons? To make the transitions more smooth with crashes and sweeps etc.
Edit: I found out
