Okay guys, I messed up... Komplete Audio 6
Posted on: 07.02.2013 by Clementina Holdahl
To cut a long story short I ordered

"native instruments komplete audio 6"

instead of:

"native instruments traktor audio 6" from juno.co.uk

Because it is obviously my fault I can't get it refunded.
I'm new to mixing and have been using a USB controller, but recently got a pair of 1210s and a mixer is on the way (Behringer DJX 750). So what I want to know is: is there a way for me to connect my turn tables to the Komplete Audio 6 and mix tunes through timecodes in Traktor?

tl;dr How/can I use turntables with Komplete Audio 6

Thanks a lot!

lol i thought i got in trouble for mentioning the word "CR4CKED" - i was wondering "wow that was extreme"

anyways the audio 6 sound cards are well worth their price, mine gets thrown around in my record bag for gigs and still as durable as ever, the only problem i heard about them are the orange usb connectors falling out but in my case all is good

Yeah, DJing is pretty cheap these days simply 'cos the tunes are a lot cheaper. Well, at least it would be if we bought the same amount of tunes

@OP - just noticed you're a UK consumer. Yeah, distance selling rules apply, you can change your mind for pretty much any reason within 7 days for a full refund

Send it back. You'll want Traktor Scratch Pro, I assume. It comes with the TA6. It does not come with the K6.

Hardware wise, your K6 isn't Scratch certified because it doesn't have any turntable pre-amps. You'd need a turntable preamp RIAA to line level converter for each deck. They're about

^What he said^

BTW If any of you are actually able to setup a timecode rig using a 3rd party audio interface with a LEGIT version of Traktor, please by all means make a video and spread the word.
Kandra Fagler

the thing you are talking about uses a cracked version of traktor

the legit version of traktor does not support any other audio interfaces for timecode, only the audio 4/6/8/10 and traktor scratch certified mixers

the komplete audio 6 is NOT possible for timecode control (except if you maybe try to use other software like virtual dj)

I have my CDJ connected to the Line In of my computer and have chosen that as the input. Here's the screenshot of it not working:

And now the identical setup routed through my NI Audio 4 DJ:
timecode2.jpg

If you're not a timecode user how can you be so sure what does and does not work for timecode?
The Connectiv user already admitted to using a hacked version of Traktor. Not something you'd want to rely on live gigs surely?

On the last page there's a shot of a guy using 2.5 and an M-Audio Connectiv; gimme a sec though, and I'll set up Timecode through my phone just to confirm it works with 2.6 (don't have any timecode vinyls or CDs here as I'm a MIDI-only guy).

The whole Traktor Scratch certification thing is just a scare tactic; any 4-input (or theoretically a 2-input in mono) solution will work, whether it's a proper 4 in / 4 out interface, or just the microphone input of your laptop and one of those crappy USB dongles.

Well you've already pointed out that the Komplete has no unbalanced line-ins which is reason enough.
NI also blocks any non-certified sound cards from working with timecode, just like Serato does with their SL boxes.

I haven't looked much into workaround methods but I would guess that Traktor checks the USB Hardware ID code (visible in Device Manager for Windows users) of the interface it is using to see if it's on the certified list.

You can't use Traktor Timecode with the Komplete Audio 6. Suggesting additional gear in order to do so is much more stupid as even with it all, you still can't use the interface.

As long as the purchase wasn't made too long ago they should accept the return, get the Traktor A6 interface - not just "any in/out interface" - and it'll work fine.
Doreen Schurle

You'd basically need a pair of phono to line converters, and a pair of balancers, and then take the output from those into the Komplete Audio 6. In short, it's a hell of a lot of work (and expensive) just to get it working; I'd take it back and get a different interface instead.

Saying "it doesn't support timecode" is just stupid; it's an in/out interface, the hardware is irrelevent... timecode support comes from the software.

Komplete Audio 6 Doesn't support Traktor timecode. Thats why everyone is suggesting the op should return it

Why are you saying it's not possible to plug the turn tables to the Komplete Audio 6, the Hardware it's practically the same, only big difference are Inputs and Outputs.

I made the same "mistake" as you and nowadays I Dj with the Komplete Audio 6, although I don't use Turntables.

I would suggest you look for the Inputs needed to plug your Turntables (sorry never ever used ones :P). Komplete Audio has 2 balanced line (1/4" TRS), you may have some trouble with not having phono inputs but there are some solutions for this.
As for Outputs there is no problem, Komplete Audio 6 has Four balanced analog outputs, you just need a cable that goes from (1/4" TRS) to RCA.

So you can go either way, trying to get the Traktor Audio 6 or solving the non phono Inputs on the Komplete Audio 6.

So Good luck hope this helps.
Tell us what did you do in the end.

Distance selling laws, you can just send it back for a refund. If they argue, claim against them via your bank or PayPal, depending on how you paid; you'll get the money back instantly. Law's on your side here bro

If you've had it less than 30 days, you can get it refunded. How long ago did you buy it?
