Recording w/ audio 4 and traktor pro?
Hey I bought traktor scratch duo and will be upgrading to pro shortly. However upgrading only gets you the software and not the audio 8. so my question is how will I record using scratch pro, the audio 4, and an external mixer? I also have a crap mixer that only has the line/phono inputs and one output. So I dont know what to do exactly besides buy a new mixer and the audio 8…
Could you not record the output into a computer line in and record it using Audacity?
I’ve ever use an external mixer with software. Can you not record internal in TSP even with a external mixer?
How exactly would I line into the laptop from rca cables? then once I do would I be able to line out again so I could hear the music? my mixer only has one output
You can record internal however the way I see it in my head after the music is recorded and sent out to the mixer I’m then altering it before it gets to the speakers. So whats recorded and whats actually playing would be two different things… If that makes sense lol
Yeah I got it now. You can get RCA to 1/8 mini jacks cables. With one out on the mixer you would need a splitter on each RCA out

Yep, Run the booth or record out from the mixer into deck d and set it to audio through. Works a charm.
Dont have the audio 8 only the 4.
I think im going to return the scratch duo and just buy scratch pro.
just get a RCA to 3,5mm cable and connect your record/booth out to a line in on your pc and record that input in audacity, works perfectly.
Buying TSP is agood choice though especially with the prices atm 
Nothing wrong with spending money on sweet gear to make things easier!!
lol yea and that solution wont work for me because I dont have booth out or record out on my pos mixer. I admit I do need a new mixer but getting tsp and recording internal with the audio 8 is the cheapest option atm.
Just some closure on the subject, I called NI and they were awesome about returning it. it just arrived back to them today so I should see my money back tomorrow or then next day, then I will be buying tsp ftw
you won’t be disappointed. especially at the price TSP is going for right now
plus going Booth Out > computer in is generally badnews bear. can fry your soundcard pretty fkin quick
Thanks for the tip with the sound card. I deff dont to fry it on my computer thats would be a bad day lol
