**New NI Soundcards** Anyone got news on the new soundcards coming out from NI? I’m in the market for one but don’t want to make any purchases yet because of the upcoming releases 😕 It’s a pickle. The video they released a little while back makes them look really nice and I don’t want to buy any of the current ones only to have them outdated in a matter of months. Anyone else in the same boat? -Kyle ---

I’d say its probably what your looking for actually. When the new ones come out, I’m still gunna use my Audio 8 DJ. Its still going to give me 4 decks if I need it. At the moment I’m only on two channels. Its just NI keeping up on the sales and what not more or less. Capitalism. ---

The “old” ones wont be “outdated in a matter of months” but if it rings your bell having the latest shit only to be able to get the most out of it when theyll be “outdated in a matter of months” then go for it… It goes on a on like hamster wheel… But again, it only makes sense if you want the new Traktor. ---

Okay so I know they won’t be outdated and will still be worthy investments, but when the new ones are released the prices on the current ones will likely drop and I don’t want to be beating myself up for not being patient and saving money later. ---

Great going xtian. 😉 Getting back on topic; yes it’s better to wait a little if possible. Than again, an older model, for instance the Audio4DJ, is more than sufficient to handle a two deck need. ---

Yeah I think if I was going to make a purchase now it would be the audio 4, I would like to look into timecode in the future but for the time being there’s no room in my budget 😕 I think I will wait and instead maybe look at a good pair of headphones, or earbuds, guh so many questions! ---

Sorry for thread hijack, but the new SC has a 5th channel for something FX send/return Cant i just use my A8, Two channel mixing, one with maschine (hopefully? ) and the last being send/return. I mean, who truly uses 4 decks unless doing a serious mashup ? ---

Well right now you can set each channel with a output so I can’t see why not when the new software comes out. It will have to have another addition for the 5th pair of outputs.
