Hello I have just signed up so that I can reply to this post, sorry about reopening an old thread!!

I was wondering how you got traktor pro working with the Maya 44 USB!? PLLLLEEEEASSSE Fill me in on how you did this. I've got serato time coded vinyls like the person in that pic above + traktor pro and a hercules steel (instead of an external mixer)

Thanks for your time :)

mistake both.
torq vinyl work in absolute mode. so You can drop the needle everywhere and it will work as a regular vinyl.

it has no latency at all.
Thats physically impossible! And hernangrau was talking about relative mode i think. Besides that to answer the topic starter's qustion:

The thing youre talking about is wideley sold here in Holland. But Traktor and the Audio 8 have proven to be very professional. The software is outstanding with great fx, there is no dj software (So Ableton doesnt count :P ) with better fx in my opinion.

Reloop Spin! has an OEM 4 in, 4 out soundcard, I need 8 in 8 out
Mixvibes is less stable than Traktor, Serato, for me as a DJ playing in clubs, thats somting i cannot afford!
Rane SSL, great software, but i'd like 4 decks!
Numark Virtual Vinyl, i havent tried it, but it doesnt have 4 deck support!
Torq has outstanding software but again the lack of decks!

Traktor Scratch Pro really has some big advantages over most other timecode systems in my opinion. For me its the FX, Support, Innovation, price (in Holland the complete package cost me €399, normally thats €549 because im in college), 4 deck support, layout, usage (so you can talk about it with other users).

@ BigBeatz
Traktor is bound to Traktor certified soundcards/mixers. You could buy an A&H Xone 2D instead of an Audio 8 or an Behringer BCD3000 (which lacks some features etc.

Using a non certified soundcard is possible altough it is hard to get it working right! try contacting NI!

Hi dude, I completely agree with you, since my last post I have purchased an Audio 4 DJ soundcard and Traktor Scratch. It it miles better than Virtual DJ/Deckadance, and just a bit better than torque. Also the sound quality of the Audio 4/8 is outstanding compared to other cards I have used.

at the end traktor is traktor, the good thing on deckadance is that reads every vinyl, and the stupid easy setup ever, when my torq's dowsn't work anymore i will try the traktor ones to see what happens

The guy in the photos seems to made it worked but from what I've read is not possible, don't know if the timecodes doesnt cost you too much try buying traktor ones and if it doesnt work buy other to use deckadance and virtual dj. Or just buy Audio 4 dj is not that expensive! ;)
