4trak + turnatable
Posted on: 14.08.2013 by Daphne Breidinger
Hello I am trying to figure out how to set up my turntables to play on 2 of the 4trak channels either via line/phono and leaving two to drag digital from the Traktor library?
I have two external usb interfaces with midi, however the 4 trak does not support midi. I also have a djm 700 in case it might help.

I appreciate the help, cheers!

Well, do the inputs on the MC6000 have phono preamps?

I've actually never setup the timecode vinyl when we used them lol, lesson learned.

That's what I thought. Regardless of if I'm using timecode or vinyl I've always set mine to phono.

Unless your using an external soundcard for the timecode (SL1, A6 etc.) then I believe it has to be set to Line...

Switch the little switches above whichever channels you connected the turntables to (I can't tell by looking at pictures which inputs they are) to phono.

Turntables should now play through these 2 channels, and the other 2 channels can be used for traktor decks.

15.08.2013		Yes, hence a phono switch. However, if I bought an Audio 4 (for example), when I ran the outputs from the Audio 4 into the MC6000, would I set the inputs to line??
