Hello! So tomorrow im going to pick up a brand new Xone 92, and in a couple weeks i will buy 2 cdjs as well, and as soon as i can afford two technincs 1210’s as well. But until then i would obviously like to use it with traktor 2. Now i wonder, what do i need more then my computer and the xone 92 and my computer to make that possible?
Have been googling around a bit and what ive managed is that i will need a soundcard of some sort? And if what i need is a soundcard, does it have to be one of native instruments own ones (like the audio 8) or does it work using other soundcards? I have been djing for the past 4 years using only friends and clubs eqiupment, so i have never had to deal with these kinds of setups. Wich makes me a complete rookie when it comes to the actuall rigging and setup of the equipment. I really do not know a thing about this stuff, so help in the matter would be highly appreciated.
Since this is only a temporary solution until my cdjs are bought, purchasing an expensive soundcard would be (and is) completely unnecessary since i wont be using traktor nor my computer at all once i have my cdjs. I can afford and am willing to spend a maximum around 60-70 euros on whatever it is that i need.
Now apart from a soundcard, might there be something else that i do need, or are there any alternate soloutions to this matter that does not require a soundcard?
I’ll be very grateful for whatever tips and info i can get and that you might have!
In your case i would pick up a cheap 2 channel soundcard such as the NI audio 2 or Numark DJIO, these will give you 2 channels of control on your mixer. You will still be triggering your tracks using the mouse/keyboard though but as you will be ditching the software anyway this may not be an issue for you.
Hello Sir!
Thanks a lot for your help, will do it first thing tomorrow for sure! Could not seem find any used ones online right now, -found a bunch of other cheap ones with 2channels, like this one; (http://avslgroup.com/en/product/173.612UK) But it will be fine to buy any soundcard as long as it has 2 RCA inputs & outputs, supports plug and play and comes with a usb cable, or am i completely mistaken? The one in the link seems like something that should work anywaysl.. But then again i do know less then nothing about this stuff,
Okay, so i have bought myself the audio 2, now only thing remaining is cables. So, what cables do i need? Will it be enough with x2 RCA-to-Tele cables? Or do i go with XLR? grateful for tips
So now i finally have both the mixer and the soundcard
, but i dont seem to have all the required cables.. I picked up two RCA-to-6.3 mm cables since i thought that was what i needed but it really doesnt seem that way.. I have to record a mix today, so please help me with this?
Okay so, since last time i have managed to get everything up and running with some minor issues.
What i need help with this time is that i really have to get a recording made this weekend, and i remembered you mentioned something about me needing 1 more output for that to be possible with my setup (xone 92, ni audio 2, laptop)
So i wonder, how do it get myself another output, do i have to buy myself another soundcard with 1 channel?
And once i have another output i assume i will need a recorder of some sort?
And also, doesnt traktor have the ability to record internally? Or aint it possible with an external mixer?
its perfect if i don’t feel like lugging around my other interface.
