Request: Cheap multi channel audio interface for under $30

Hello again peoples :slight_smile:,

Its that time of the year again -.- Buying loved ones really cheap gifts :stuck_out_tongue:. I’m basically broke and looking to buy a DJ setup, go figure! Well its not for me, its a gift. I have a budget of $120ish so I have a Hercules MP3 E2 in the cart and I’m also looking to purchase a Audio Interface because my friend, the recipient, uses a laptop.

Can I find a Multi channel audio interface for under $30. Or should I buy my loved friend a Numark iO and act like I didn’t know it couldn’t monitor cue :sunglasses:.

Would something like this work?

I’ve used a splitter before out of my computers headphone jack.

Right: goes to master in mono

Left: cue in mono.

Not sure how it works in windows. On a mac, you lose a bit fo sound quality but playing on a home stereo system it sounds fine. You can jam in your bedroom with no problem or living room or kitchen with no problem.

I did the same for my nephews to get them into DJing. Herc MP3e2 and a 10.00 splitter.

Have you checked ebay for Numark Mixtracks? I’d try to get something that comes with TP LE.

Appreciate the info sounds good, enough :stuck_out_tongue:. Order has been placed, just adding one more confused DJ to the forums. Your welcome : ].

Thanks alot,

uhm, make sure you tell your friend about the asio-driver/midi-devicesetup ( on macs ) if you want to use traktor :smiley:

i gifted a friend with an old midi controller some time ago ( mp3 e2 :d ) and my usb-2 in/out soundcard and after 2 days he came back almost crying that he: ‘couldnt get that damn sh*t cue to work’ :smiley::smiley:

Numark IO does have the ability to cue…

Will do! Many thanks :smiley:

Damnit! I remeber watching a review somewhere, I probably just misunderstood. Welp? :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh btw, here is the iO for anyone looking for a cheap audio interface that won’t break the bank. ($20)

thats a different soundcard from the one i was referring to, numark also have another one called the IO which does have 4 channels, how strange. Im speaking about the one that they originally bundled with the total control ([ame]http://www.amazon.com/Numark-Multi-Channel-Audio-Interface/dp/B000S5Q2EK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=musical-instruments&qid=1291383595&sr=1-1[/ame])

apoligies for the misinformation, i wasnt aware they had a lower model (let alone one with the name name? :S)
