**Traktor / Soundcard Question**

How many inputs and outputs on the soundcard do I need to control Traktor from my turtables and traditional DJ mixer.

I am looking to use timecoded vinyl and obviously have each channel seperately inputted to Traktor.

I have seen that the Audio 8 is recommended but it is wayyy over my budget.

Can the Audio 4 do the job?

Traktor Scratch Duo - not TSPro mind. Not sure the difference…

Traktor Scratch Pro = 4 decks  
Traktor Scratch Duo = 2 Decks

If your just using 2 Decks the Audio 4 will do the job just dandy.  
However you have to study the purchasing options of TSP and TSD as you may want the features of TSP which are greater than in TSD and TSP is only sold with the Audio 8.

If you already have TPRO there are many upgrade options.

Its a minefield but worth doing the homework.
