Xone 2D or Audio 8 DJ for Traktor Pro
Xone 2D or Audio 8 DJ for Traktor Pro Posted on: 18.11.2008 by bhavesh wadia Really stuck between these two. If i rock up to a club with a 2D, i won't be taking up as much space as an Audio 8 and Xone 1D.Im more from a tradional Dj background so i will hook up to the club's mixer and use timecode with my CDJs or Turntables. I looked on Allen & Heath's Website and they dont have any updates for the 2D. Infact, they have only ever released drivers. Must be stable then eh!? I thought the Xone 4D soundcard was having some big issues with Traktor Pro!? Native instruments release regular updates for their Audio 8 DJ but thats proberly because its had compatibility issues with Leopard & vista. The only thing steering me towards the Audio 8 is that it is 4 in & 4 out which would give me some more flexabiltiy. Which setup do you believe will be more stable & reliable? What would you go for? Bearing in mind i want to take up minimal space in the booth. But if the Audio 8 and Xone 1D gives me the right setup, i will make the exception Which | |

| Cristian Carmona 19.11.2008 | if i was you, i would hold off until NI makes an anouncemnt. I have an audio 8, and I wouldnt trade it for the world |
| bhavesh wadia 19.11.2008 | Native Instruments are relasing a Traktor Scratch Pro upgrade before Christmas for people with a cerified mixer. You will get Traktor Scratch Pro but without the Audio 8. I've been told that even though the 2D is not certified it will still work. Its not certified because it does not have four ins. |
| Vanetta Tronolone 19.11.2008 | Yeah I don't get you. Could you tell us more exactly what you're up to? |
| hutch kirkpatrick 19.11.2008 | i don't understand. are you going to use scracth / timecode ?? you'll need a audio8dj for that. the xone2D isn't certified. |
