Velcro NI Audio2DJ to laptop?
Velcro NI Audio2DJ to laptop? Posted on: 02.08.2012 by Ciara Lichte Hey team-I'm a happy NI Audio2DJ soundcard user, but I never know where to put the damn thing. Then it hit me: Just velcro it to the laptop screen! Thoughts? Here's my setup: 17" laptop (too big, I know), VCI-100SE, NI Audio2DJ, and sometimes a WD passport external HD. If I had a laptop stand, I'd velcro it to that, or on the underside of the laptop, but I don't have a laptop stand. thanks for your thoughts! -TB | |

| Erica Charvet 17.08.2012 | I usually throw mine into my mixer rack. If I spun at clubs, I guess I'd probably just lay it on the table... lol. |
| Ciara Lichte 17.08.2012 | Okay. Reporting back after testing the soundcard on the screen. With volume cranked all the way on the Audio2DJ, there was no noticeable distortion or interference from the laptop lcd. Now I'm considering putting my portable hard drive on the front, as well. |
| Ciara Lichte 02.08.2012 | Ooooooh. I didn't consider that. I'll have to try it and see what happens. I'll report back on my findings. |

| Ciara Lichte 02.08.2012 | I hadn't thought about cable length causing data dropouts. Good call. I've also found that the older drivers allowed lower latency with fewer (no) dropouts on my system. |
| Darlene Strohbeck 02.08.2012 | I got some audio dropouts from having to much USB exposed, so my solution was to keep it was close to the USB port (that it was plugged into) as possible. I had a velco strap the kept the cable wound up except the most minimal amount that I needed to reach the USB port. |
