Internally you wont need a mixer but if you really want tactile control over all 4 decks an externall 4 channel mixer might not be a bad idea!

thanks for the input…i’ve ordered my audio 8.. now as for traktor… because there are four digital decks within the traktor software… how would i set up the audio 8 for 2 turntable/cdj timecoded controlled decks (1/2) and the other two decks (3/4) by my vci… would i need to also buy a 4 channel mixer and have decks 3/4 routed to the two additional lines in the 4 channel mixer?

It’s USB 2.0, has some nice converters (Cirrus Logic), and has 2 inputs, 2 outputs — both mics do line and Hi-Z for guitars and basses; one also has mic in with phantom power. 24-bit / 192 kHz is probably overkill for the guitar hobbyist target market — it’s overkill for me, too. But I’ve been really happy with NI’s recent audio hardware, as have the other folks I know, particularly those who have tried their Audio 8 DJ interface. (Ean Golden DJ Tech Tools just did a review.)

So that should make it an easy call. Well, I am 99% sure the fast track pro does not have phono inputs. So that should make it an easy call.

In my opinion is a great sound card. Stable, vary good sound quality and high gain outputs. I have no drivers issues and I haven't change the default conf. traktor works flawlessly.
