Question about Audio Interface
If I buy a Sounbox Audio Interface (or any random Audio Interface in general), and hook it up to a mixer and 2 turntables, will I NOT be able to use softwares like Traktor Scratch Pro or Serato Scratch live with Timecoded vinyl since the Audio Interface isn’t a Traktor/Serato certified Audio Interface?
No. Traktor needs NI hardware, SSL needs rane hardware.
You WILL be able to use deckadance 2 and virtual dj tho. Not sure about mixxx
I like Deckadance, dislike VDJ.
What’s a better option for a starter like me? Buy a cheap 2 channel mixer for $40 and an A/I for like $70, or save up for the Traktor Z2? (I only have $170, doubt I’d get $400+ on my birthday)
You can buy the cheap mixer, an audio 4 and some dicers and save money on the 799$ z2…
Z2 is $599.
Audio 4 is discontinued, really hard to find it, but sounds like a better option.
Nope, it was 599 for traktor users. Now it’s back up at 799.
Ok.
I don’t know.. If you can find an audio 4/6 i’d rather go with that. The z2 is IMHO an overrated piece of machinery
So with the Audio 6, in a nutshell, I’ll be able to hook up my mixer + 2 TT’s to my laptop, right?
yep, and have an extra output.
if you had Traktor pro 2 you can just click on the deck you want to be vinyl (4 decks to choose from momentarily or permanently is your choice) click the deck to “live input” or if you have an older version w/ an external mixer just hit the line or phono switch to make the switch… feel me?
