You need an external soundcard. You can use the built-in laptop soundcard but it will suck and you won’t be able to use headphones.

Welcome to the forum!

What he said. The Audio 2 from Native Instruments is a very good soundcard for a good price that will last you forever.

what?

thats ridiculous, the only place it works well in is a skatepark. pffff

I’d suggest you read the manual when you get it, The VCI has just a USB cable and the Audio 2 has just a USB cable and 2 1/4" inputs. Really couldn’t be simpler.

O ok thanks…So i would have; VCI-100>laptop>auido>speakers???

i just want to make sure im not wasting my money thats all man XD XD

Does the VCI-100 have a mapping for Virtual DJ by any chances?

The Audio 2 will come with a cable that goes from the 1/4 plug to RCA’s those will then go to your amp or speakers. The other hole will be for your headphones.

I’m not sure about the current version of VDJ. I know previous versions were supported.

Oh ok thanks heaps man XD XD

This is the link to the speakers i am planning on buying http://www.djcity.com.au/packages/speaker-packs_70.html

The speakers I am looking at are the 8 inch DJ Party speakers, or the 10 inch… could someone have a look to check out the inputs and oputs please that would be awsome..

thanks XD

Hello

as i have the same questions as you, i felt like making another post would not be a good idea.

So i ask my question here. From what i understand, i cannot Cue if i use computer speakers?

I have a DJ i/o external soundcard and i was not able to have sound in my headphones and on my computer. Is it normal? Do i need to plug my soundcard to real speakers to be able to cue a song?

Thanks!

How do you have everything plugged in at the moment? You need both your speakers and your headphones to be plugged into the DJ I/O then select the right outputs in the output routing section of Traktor preferences.

15

What he said, play with the outputs in preferences while a track is playing and you’ll get sorted.

tips cap to jojo with a knowing knod

haha +1 to you good sir. :smiley::smiley::smiley:

and also i have the i/o soundcard…but really to be honest if you are getting a vci-100 you should really invest in traktor pro! the vci 100 will come with traktor le software included and the upgrade to traktor pro is only $70 i believe on their website for a cd box and everything… because who wouldn’t want to run the DJTT midi mapping? :smiley:

and if you get traktor i know my preferences under the output routing tab for the i/o are:

Output Monitor
L: 3: OUT 2 - CH
R: 4: OUT 3 - CH

Output Master
L: 1: OUT 0 - CH
R: 2: OUT 1 - CH

you then connect the composite (RCA aka Red&White) cables to Output 1 on the back of the i/o and run them to either a normal stereo amplifier or how i have it setup with computer speakers which is what it sounds like your trying to do…at any electronic store they sell an adapter that goes from composite cables to a male headphone jack, you will also need to buy double ended female headphone jack adapter (both only cost a couple bucks each) and this will allow you to convert from the rca white and red cables to a female headphone jack exactly like on the back of your computer for your speakers!! :smiley::smiley: now obviously computer speakers won’t go very loud but i use this setup for whilst other people are sleeping in the wee hours of the morning if i feel like puttin’ down some beats!!

here is pictures of the adapters!!

the green ended cord is from my computer speakers and the red/white cables come from output 1 on the dj i/o soundcard :slight_smile:

Composite (Red/White) to male headphone jack

Double ended female headphone adapter

Both put together…

And the final product!

CHEERS! :smiley::sunglasses:

Thanks for all your tips but my first problem is: When i select Numark USB Audio Device (asio) in Audio Setup, the only outputs i can use in Outputs Routing is :

1: Out 1
2: Out 2

The only other option is - not connected -

Do you know what should i do to see the others Outputs?

Thanks!

hmmmm…thats weird if it doesn’t show the 3 & 4 outs…the only options available are ch 1 & 2?

my only recommendation there would be to reinstall the driver software for the i/o soundcard and try again other than that im out of ideas :disappointed:
