Sound Card
Hey all,
Im new to DJing on the computer. I bought the Vestax VCI 100 after it was suggested by a friend. He told me I would need an external sound card (he suggested Audio 4 DJ) in order to use headphones to monitor.
Does anyone have any suggestions for an external sound card that will work besides Audio 4 DJ? I am not looking for anything fancy. Just something cheap that will allow me to monitor with the headphones and send output to the speakers.
Hey,
Here is a soundcard by Numark DJ|iO | Numark. I personally do not have one. You should check out reviews of it before you buy. The sound card is definitely geared towards beginner djs.
I am looking to purchase a VCI-100 and I am thinking that the audio 4 is probably a better choice then the one I just showed you. The audio 4 is a bit more expensive though. I hope this helped.
there’s a lot of threads on the forums discussing this topic, you should do a search. lots of good info in those threads.
Firewire or usb?
If firewire, then get a presonus firebox.
Usb, then I’d vote for a NI card - audio4/audio8/kontrol1.
A beginner DJ myself, I use the DJIO and have no problems with it. And with the $99 price tag (at least here in Chicago), it’s not a bad deal at all.
See my sig for the faq there are soundcard threads in there - please use those threads\blog posts for general soundcard discussion.
