Setup Help Required! Traktor 4 Decks, DB4, K2(s)
Posted on: 15.03.2012 by Eleanor Munday
Hi,

Firstly, I come from a fairly old school setup of vinyl/CDJ + analogue mixer. I believe there will always be a place for it, it has served me well and will always be my first love but I can

I assumed he meant timecode.

this should be no problem, the db4 has an input matrix on top where you can select which USB input (e.g. channel A in traktor) goes to which deck and you can easily select one deck for all of the channels if you wish. The sam applies to the TTs you plug in, just select the appropriate input in the matrix and off you go

I know it pales in comparison, but the Pioneer DJM-900nexus is Traktor certified. This route costs less too.

15.03.2012		you sound pretty ambitious!

The DB4 has a soundcard which will accept all 4 of those decks from traktor. There are input selectors at the top of each channel on the face plate, I assume you change which digital input you want there.

You can aggregate channels in traktors sound settings, I dont have the foggiest if you can do that realtime on the DB4, but I wouldnt try doing it realtime at a gig inside traktors settings.

The DB4 will let you choose which input type you require; line, phono or USB so your not tied to only one medium.

I dont own a DB4, most of this is going from what I can see in pics.
