Quick audio 8 question
Quick audio 8 question Posted on: 05.04.2013 by Darren Teboe been cross/down/up-grading some gear to get my 2nd setup back up and running for home use. I used to gig with a DJM 800 and Audio 8, but I'm moving that into a static setup now which is part of my question.I'm still trying to find that steal on an M3D, so I'm currently using one technic, and two CDJ's. Now I'm really used to using vinyl control, and like to scratch. Am I able to use my turntable on channel C/5&6 on the audio 8? Primarily, I want to use the CDJ's as my main A & B channels, and then use the technics on 3 (and 4 when I find a good deal again). The combination of HID with the CDJ's and 4 years of using the same keyboard hotcues makes me really sort of want to stay on A & B if possible and delegate the 3rd (and 4th) channel to scratching, samples, loops, and/or 3rd/4th songs. TL;DR Does vinyl control work on output 5/6 from the audio 8? | |

| Darren Teboe 06.04.2013 | reroute seems like the way to go. Thanks for the help guys. And for the record, I understand I totally could/should have just read the manual, I know. Time is an incredibly valuable thing with a 1 year old and a pregnant wife though. heh. |

| Delila Vandommelen 06.04.2013 | You'd have to get a phono preamp for inputs 5/6 7/8 and it should work. Or, way cheaper, as manchild pointed out - route the timecode from inputs 1/2 3/4 to decks C and D and your outputs as you see fit. |
| Addie Engbrecht 06.04.2013 | Input 5/6 is either Line or a Mic input and 7/8 is Line only, with that being said, maybe I didnt understand you, but you can use any input on the Audio 8 and have it control any deck in Traktor. So Input A can control Deck A,B,C,D. |
