Question on Setups
If I’m using a Xone 42 and looking to add a x1/1d w/ maschine with an audio 6 interface will it work out?
Maybe add an f1 as well.
Will be mixing Techno and Minimal.
X1 + Audio 6 will work fine with your Xone, but do you need the inputs of the Audio 6 if you’re not using Timecode?
What audio interface will I need in order to make my setup work?
Do you know how many decks in total you want to have?
3 decks the most, but use maschine just as an extra filler in my sets
So 4 decks? You’ll need something with 4 independant stereo outputs then.
so theres no way i can use audio 4 + 6 to use em all at once? or just buy the audio 10
If you have a Mac then you can reliably combine two audio devices if you have them already. Don’t bother if you’ve yet to buy them though.
If you can get an Audio 8 or 10 without the additional Scratch Timecode license it could be worth it, otherwise there are other sound cards on the market.
Okay makes sense. Yes I do have a mac. So how would I connect the A4+6 to work with 4 channels
Open Audio MIDI setup in OSX and create a new aggregate device, then select your A4+A6 outputs in the checkboxes on the right.
Okay thanks and from there I will be able to “ex” hook up my x1 to control A/B and 1d to C/D and use connect MASCHINE midi IN and out directly into the interface?
If you’re just using the X1 and 1D you shouldn’t need to bother with any MIDI in/out. They both work over USB.
I forgot to put Maschine (Midi IN / OUT) . would this also work A2 w/ A6 ?
Maschine is also USB, you don’t need to use MIDI.
A2 + A6 will give you 5 stereo outputs when aggregated.
lol this whole time i was thinking it had that option . aggregating A2+A6 , recommended? A4 hard to find since discontinued.
If you already have the sound cards then sure. If you don’t, you’d be better off buying a dedicated 4+ stereo output card.
something like this right?
MAYA-44-USB 4 In 4 Out USB Audio Interface.
The MAYA 44 has 4 mono outs, which is equivalent to 2 stereo outs.
The Gigaport has 8 mono/4 stereo outputs that could work well for your setup.
