**My Studio/DJ Setup** Hi guys, I am collecting money to get a good setup. I was thinking of getting these items: Monitors: 2\*KRK RP5 G2SE Midi Keyboard: M-audio Axiom 25 ADV Headphones: HDJ-500 Audio Interface: Komplete Audio 6 OR Scarlett 2i4 Mixer: Numark mixtrack pro(already have) The biggest problem is with the audio interface, I don’t know which one to pick. The difference that I see between them is that the Audio 6 has all balanced in and outs and a SPDIF(which I think that I don’t need). The Scarlett has both balanced and unbalanced(I think that I need the unbalanced because if I go to my friends they don’t have monitors so I have to plug a set of 2.1 speakers for djing). But when i was looking at some pics I saw that they don’t have a place where you can plug inputs. I want the inputs because I would like to use the interface for both producing and djing. As I said I have a Mixtrack pro and the outputs are unbalanced. Is there a way in which I can run the audio from the mixer to the monitors using an audio interface or do I need to get a better mixer with unbalaced? ---

There isn’t a “Traktor Komplete audio 6”. Rather, there is a Traktor Audio 6, which is Traktor Certified and definitely best left solely for DJ purposes in my opinion, and the Komplete Audio 6, which has 2 XLR/quarter inch ins, 2 quarter inch ins, 4 quarter inch outs, an spdif in out, and a headphone jack that is switchable between outputs 1/2 and 3/4. The Komplete Audio 6 also has phantom power which you will need if you plan to use condenser microphones. I actually have the Komplete Audio 6 and I quite like it for a producer/workstation interface. It has a really nice big knob on the top for the main 1/2 volume which is great for studio work. I’ve also used it to output 2 stereo channels to a DJM400 and that has worked great too. Keep in mind, the Komplete Audio 6 has a headphone jack as well as normal quarter inch outputs so you can plug monitors in or use a quarter inch adapter and plug into headphone jack/computer speakers for playing at your mates, but the Scarlett has that too. Hope that helps! 🙂 ---

if you will be seeing yourself using turntables or cdj when you outgrow your mixtrack in the future, get the traktor audio 6. but if you plan to get a certified mixer, then an komplete audio 6 or the scarlett 2i4 is enough. you can connect the 2.1 speakers to your audio interface with an RCA to 3mm jack. just have the right cables, any interface will do. ---

Thanks for the info, I think I will be going for the Komplete Audio 6 since it has more inputs that I might need. The setup that I have in mind is something the this: ![KOMPLETE_AUDIO_6.jpg](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex001/uploads/techtools/original/3X/c/b/cba571038df6c0e79249c8071adbbf5a219421fb.jpeg) The first diagram is the one that I’m aiming for. The most important thing that I want out of the setup is to be able to play music from the mixer while still being able to play some notes from the midi(like playing a piano verse) at the same time. I’m sorry that I confused the Komplete Audio 6 with the Traktor Audio 6. I was also gathering some info about some pioneer CDJ and DJM maybe later I collect for a better setup than my Mixtrack Pro.
