Reply to Using an NS7 as a sound card only

I currently play with two different setups:

One is my Traktor Pro/VCI-100/etc/etc setup and a cheap DJiO soundcard. I play around with this at home and for small private gigs.

The other is a Serato/NS7 house setup at my current weekly spot. I come in, bring my music on a flash drive, and play completely on their system, laptop and all.

I want to start playing with my VCI and Traktor at my weekly spot, but the DJiO just isn't a good option for that- at best, I have to send the outs from the iO into the Aux of the NS7, and I believe that sounds like crap.

To me, the simple solution would be to just plug the NS7 straight into my lappy, route Traktor's audio through it, and get on with my day without the cheap sound card in between.

I've tried installing the NS7 drivers to just go for it, but the installation was glitchy, and Traktor never recognized the NS7. Has anyone tried this before?

I'm on a PC, Traktor 1.2.1
