So what exactly do I need......
So what exactly do I need...... Posted on: 27.07.2012 by Lorette Muratalla So I just purchased a Xone62. Im currently running the traktor S2. Im a past turntable user at heart and the S2 just didnt give me that warm fuzzy mixer feeling, plus I wanted control of all four decks. So my question is as follows, I know that ill be purchasing a couple of X1's for controlling traktor, and ill want to route all four decks into the 4 channels in the mixer, but what kind of sound card will suffice. Will the NI audio 8 do the trick? thanks for any help. | |

| Lorette Muratalla 31.07.2012 | This is what it says when I do a system report and go to USB |
| Hipolito Scionti 31.07.2012 | Btw the audio 10 is wicked. The extra stereo out is good if you want 4 decks plus a way of previewing tracks |
| Lorette Muratalla 31.07.2012 | Mid 2012 model? |
| Leeanna Ayla 31.07.2012 | I don't believe those are 3.0 ports. What model do you have? |
| Lorette Muratalla 30.07.2012 | Just did what you said and its saying high speed 3.0 USB. Well Ill be damned! I guess ill be purchasing the Audio 10 |
| Nita Eviston 27.07.2012 | pretty sure they would only be usb 2.0 if you don't have retina display, plus you still have firewire, which i believe they did away with in favor of another thunderbolt port. You can check by clicking on the Apple in the top left > About this Mac > More Info > then under hardware USB. If the speed says 'up to 480Mbps' then you have 2.0. |
| Brenna Welbes 27.07.2012 | It's hard to tell by those pictures cuz you can't really see the leads. Just google the model number of your mac. google xxxxxxxx specifications (where xxxxx is the model number) and should tell you everything there is to know about all the connectors for you laptop. |
| Lorette Muratalla 27.07.2012 | This is what I see. http://i638.photobucket.com/albums/u...y/95e3d99a.jpg http://i638.photobucket.com/albums/u...y/7f42321e.jpg |
| Brenna Welbes 27.07.2012 | Well the color may not be the same but the the number of metal leads and where they're positioned will be identical. |
| Lorette Muratalla 27.07.2012 | huh, mine dont look like either. But to be safe ill go with the Audio10. lol |
| Jonathan Chiuchiolo 27.07.2012 | usb 2.0 looks like this usb 3.0 looks like this |
| Lorette Muratalla 27.07.2012 | Ya know that funny you say that about the 3.0 USB. I JUST purchased a ne MacBookPro about 3 weeks ago. Its not the "new retina" display one. But im really not sure if its USB 3.0 or not and considering this is my first mac, im kind of lost on how to find out if it is!!!? lol |
| Jonathan Chiuchiolo 27.07.2012 | yep the Audio 8 will be fine, but you should be aware that the drivers are currently incompatible with usb 3.0, so an Audio 10 might be a better more future proof purchase if you have already or intend to upgrade your laptop. |
