Firewire soundcard to work with vinyl

Hello, I’m looking for a Firewire soundcard to work with vinyl control and use it with Mixxx(an open source dvs), I use Echo audiofire 2 currently, with only MIDI controller attached. To get my old turntables into work, I need to change the soundcard.

What I want is:

  1. Firewire
  2. 4 input / 4 output (better with RCA)
  3. Phono preamp (optional, cause Mixxx has internal amp)

I did google a bit, but cant find the right one fit my need. Echo AudioFire 8 would be ok, but 8 input/output might be a waste. Someone in the mixxx forum said Staton ScratchAmp 2 is a good choice, but it seems that it is discontinued.. Any reply would be appreciated!

ok, USB would be fine.

İf USB is fine you should take a look at the Native Instruments sound cards.Audio Scratch 6 or 10.Maybe in the forums and the internet you can find the Audio 4 as well.

Thank you, I’ll think about that.

Look into the Motu Ultralite.

I have a Scratch Amp that I’d sell you for really cheap.

The Mic input is f’d up to all hell (drops part of the balanced in, so it picks up radio interference) but the rest of it was fine the last time I used it. PM me an offer if you want it, and I’ll plug in some stuff and see if the rest of the IO still works.
