They both have preamp for the phono imputs, so i can use both of them with my turntable, but which is better?

"Connect the phono outputs of the turntables to the input of the sound card, connect the soundcard's ouput to yje line inputs of the mixer

I've said that in my mixer there is only 1 LINE input

Oh sure, but i could just use my regular cambridge soundwork speakers ? Oh and btw my mixer has: 1 master, 1 rec output and 1 line, 1 tape, 2 cd and 2 phono inputs... can i still use the timecode with my Turntable and a soundcard?

19.04.2013		May want to drop the price a little on that. I got mine for half your ask, even though everything costs more over here in the UK.
Wei Lebeaux
19.04.2013		Another vote for the Audio 4. Mine was so good I found another mint condition one and kept it around as a backup. I also own an Audio 8, and so far it's been great as well. If you're interested I have the mint audio 4 for sale here http://community .djranking s.com/showthread.php?t=69687

Pm me and we can work something out.

17.04.2013		Wait a second guys, ive got a question... if a soundcard has preamplified phono imputs does it mean that i dont need an amplifier?

13.04.2013		While I own and enjoy using a Audio4DJ I would like to say that I do envy the metering and physical switches on the Hercules.

I would also like to suggest the Electrix Ebox-44 as another contender. It's very similar to the Audio4DJ and it's extremely well priced, great if you're not a Traktor Scratch user. I quite want to pick one up myself but it'd be wasteful, I don't need it.

Nadia Shelmadine
13.04.2013		I don't see any point of not buying either Serato SL3 -box or Native Instrument's Audio4/6/8/10 if you plan ever using TSP or Scratch Live. If you're only ever using Virtual DJ or other open-DVS-softwares get what does the job. Still NI Audio-boxes are a good choice.

12.04.2013		no experience with the hercules kit, but i can say my audio 4 was an amazing piece of gear.
Jonathan Chiuchiolo
12.04.2013		Audio 4 is better. I have the Numark Virtual Vinyl soundcard which I am inclined to believe that the herc is a copy of. It won't have the best sound if it is the same. And the Herc won't work with traktor, however, the Audio 4 card will work with anything but Serato. I have an Audio 8 which is the same as the Audio 4 and it's great, although the newer windows drivers have given me trouble running on an ATI system, older drivers are fine though.
Alphonso Deitchman
12.04.2013		Audio 4 if you use Traktor. Hercules if not.
