I'm assuming that the mac just detects it like every other piece of hardware you plug into it- but did you tell the mac to route the sound through it? Second question: Did Traktor recognize it in the preferences-soundcard menu? I'm looking into this thing seriously and if you get it up and running, will you please post back- they're only like $30!!!!! If it works, I want 3 of them! Jesse P,

Iv been just learning djing for about 4 months now. any hints to get it working or if the firewave works at all, its a 5.1 surround external firewire card for macs.

That said, I HAVE had great success with my current setup. I use a 1.25 ghz powerbook G4 with the echo indigo DJ and my mixer is an Xsession pro by M-Audio. $75 external mixer (midi) that traktor had no problem communicating with. I turned the pitch faders into volume sliders and it runs all 4 decks simultaneously on a 3-band EQ. I really need to figure out how to get a controller on this rig so I can make use of the effects more smoothly. However, I love the Xsession pro and STRONGLY recommend any newbies out there to pick one up before you try mixing for any period of time with a mouse. Hey guys,

Foudn your posts at NI forum, huuuuge thank you. I am a bedroom Dj, it's only a past time. I run Traktor 3 on a Macbook, with Vestax VCI-100, and my sound card so far is the Griffin's iMic USB soundcard. It allows headphone cueing, and works fine with active monitors. A cheap option if you're on a budget, or just beginning. Am now considering M-Audio Firewire, 50 % cheaoer than the Presonus firebox here in Spain. A good option ? Thanks for all the brilliant work and sharing it with us.</blockquote> Hey I have a question, it might seem dumb, but i will ask anyway. I have the Griffin iMic, but I can't seem to configure it. The program doesn't let me use both the built in and the imic, it reads the imic, but then it won't let me use the built in. What are your settings Mino?

I have read in some forums about many problems with fireware audio interfaces - like, it stops responding, crackles in sound, computer looses fireware audio interfce at all. the answer is that native soundcards (PCI and PCMCIA)are more stable. What is your experiences on this subject? Hey Guys!
