Traktor Scratch. What mixer??

Post by hotpace »

Just got Traktor 3 Scratch installed on my Mac. Want to buy a cheapish mixer so I can connect it to the Mac and listen to the tunes I'm gonna be bringing into the mix through headphones. Any suggestions??

Would these work with Traktor?

eeuh? Any mixer will do. As long as you don't buy an old Ecler SMAC-30, these don't work with TS. But otherwise, any mixer.

i believe you need an audio interface/sound card that has multiple outputs if you want to cue up anything...

It has something to do with the feature of that mixer that it has an internal ground lift or something like that. I only learned that when I had to play in Bruges and couldn't get the TS to work on both decks. Very strange. So afterwards I went online and found it on the NI website as a known issue.
It also gives problems with Serato btw, you can have the weird behavior that your deck plays backwards when connected to that type of mixer.
