NI Audio2 DJ
If the NI Audio2 DJ soundcard automatically reads the impedence of the 2 outputs, is there any advantage/disadvantage to dedicating one output to headphone and the other to PA?
Nope both outputs are the same and thus it doesnt matter which one your using for either application
gracias
just a quick question regarding the audio2. if i were to get an apc40 and an audio 2 soundcard would that mean i couldnt actually record loops/tracks? Are there any added benefits for getting the audio4 instead of audio2?
what do you mean “record tracks”?..
in Traktor? it records to your hard drive..
sorry if that doesnt answer
audio4 has timecode control in Traktor (turntables/cdjs) but has the same outputs as the Audio2
well id be using it with an APC40 and ableton (it says its compatible- which i assume form a soundcard??). im just really confused about the differences between the audio2 and 4. If i dont need timecode why would i need audio4?
In short, you don’t. Get the Audio 2 if you are not planning on using DVS (timecode records)
You record internally through the software.
if your planning on recording any EXTERNAL sources, such as a synth, drum machine, guitar, vocals or anything like that… i dont think you can record anything with the audio 2 as they are both OUTPUTS… whereas the audio 4/8 has both inputs and outputs and the audio 8 also has a mic/XLR input… however… if ur just recording internally through the software… audio 2 should do just fine…
but.. if you’re gonna JUST use ableton, without physical instruments into the program, you just need the Audio2.
the APC40 says its compatible with ableton in how its Layout is and how it controls it, not the sound/soundcard
While we are talking about the audio 2, how can it be used to record mixs if you use it externaly with a 2Ch mixer? it has just 2 outputs right?
you run your mixer record output into your line in on your laptop and record it with audacity
yeah that works if you just want to casually record something… but it wont be as good a quality as recording through an audio interface.
While that being true of course, I can’t see the point in needing anything of more quality than the standard line-in. For recording DJ-mixes it is more than adequate and for sure is not going to sound totally rubbish or anything like that. If it does that is because of your mixing skills.
