[Help] Suggest me a *cheap* 2 Channel Mixer with BUILT IN Audio Interface?

If you were to pick up a Zero4 on the cheap, it uses Firewire for the audio interface. I believe it was stated before in this thread, but it is a Scratch Certified mixer. So all you need is the Tsp license and the Timecode vinyls/cds and you're good to go. It's a great mixer. It can do just about anything and do it well, so if you're able to stumble onto one for cheap it's a great buy.

It seems to be more expensive than the Z2, but thanks for your help, at least I'm learning more now.

ok but why do you need to use Traktor Scratch? any particular reason

You Could get the AA 10 MXR + Mixvibes Cross for about 400. I asume you already have turntables

yes it works as a standard mixer, so you can connect a pair of Turntables or CDJ's and mix without a computer or use it with timecode and a computer. But it's not certified so want work with Traktor Scratch or Serato Live. but will work with Mixvibes Cross, VirtualDJ and some other. You can even use it as just a midi mixer with your computer and use the buttons on the mixer to control the decks in any software. To use it with Traktor Scratch you would still need a Native Instruments sound card

Looks like it can be used for DVS with turntables, but not with Traktor or Serato as they require specific sound cards.

Ok. I believe I'm explaining this badly. Apologies if I'm just confusing the sh*t outta you.

Do you want to play vinyl on the turntables? Like your own record collection... If so no audio interface nor Traktor is required. Unless you just want to mix internally with traktor, which is a little strange but fair enough.

If you want to use your turntables as a DVS setup with Traktor and your Mp3s etc then you need either a Audio 4/6/8/10 or a Traktor Certified Mixer. You can't just use any old cheap soundcard... It doesn't work that way.

Well yeah, but why do you need the Audio Interface? It still won't let your turnies work through Traktor. You need a Traktor compatible soundcard for that. Like an Audio 4/6/8/10..


Unless you need the audio interface for something else then just ignore what I'm saying

Nope. That's more for recording etc.


Even if you do find a mixer for under $150 it won't allow you to use your Turntables with Traktor. It needs to be a Traktor Scratch Certified mixer and they don't exist for anything close to that price....

Like Stewe said the BCD3000 fits for what your asking (more a controller then a dedicated mixer though I'd say?) , I've never used one so I'm not sure if it'll work with Traktor Scratch but I'm sure someone here will know.
