Native instruments Audio 6 Sound card
Hi, i need an external sound card as my numark DJ IO died recently. The thing is that i have 2 turntables, 2 pioneer cdjs and also a midi controller, i want to buy the NI audio 6 and then buy the timecode vinyls and cds and use traktor scratch… is this possible to do???
Yes, when you buy the Audio 6 you get a Traktor Scratch licence with it, 2 timecode CDs and 2 timecode records. You can use the Audio 6 to control 3 timecode decks at once (2 turntables or CDs and 1 CD)
Your midi controller will continue to work as it did before

You used to be able to pick up an audio6/10 separately and go down the scratch update path that way (thats what i did) but now they dont sell them separately like popinjay mentions.
well i can find it in a store here… i want to know if it is a good idea to buy the A6 non scratch version… and then buy the vinyls and timecode cds…
You can’t buy the A6 without traktor scratch any more, how were you gunna get that?
It’d be a lot more expensive to buy it all separately.
here in my town many stores sell the A6 non scratch version yet…
I’d probably recommend skipping that and buying it online. A6 Soundcard + Certified upgrade pack costs more than just the A6 bundle alone I think. May want to double check that though- it’ll depend on how much it’s going for in store.
A6 scratch Pro bundle definaely looks good, tis what im getting in a couple of weeks
And one more question, as i see that NI is not selling the Audio 8 scratch anymore (with 4 channels wich is what i need) is it possible to output 3 decks with the Audio 6??
Sure is.
As I said above, you have have up to 2 decks of vinyl, the remaining input has no phono preamp so it has to be CD.
You could, however, buy a cheap battery powered phono preamp for 5 quid, that’d probably do the job if you wanted to use 3 turntables
