**Soundcard recomendations**

Hi,

I am looking for some recommendations on external soundcard recommendation for a starting DJ. I believe it would be best not to use the built in soundcard that comes with the laptop. I was looking at the Traktor Audio 2 any thoughts on this?

Id go with an Audio 6. This way you will have the ability to expand into DVS if you ever wish to.

yah it depends on what youre going to be DJing with…if a midi controller, the A2 is fine, but youd want at least an A6 if your going to be using any analog decks
