Dear All,

thanks in advance,

Kind regards Danny

Hi there you require a card like the maya 44 usb , mk2 dj console , vv or u46 dj to allow you to do this

you can then record the track via the line in of the internal card.

didnt he just say that he has 3 outputs (im assuming stereo) and line-in? thus i will assume this means he has a 5.1 surround card...

yes, it will work for you. put vdj into 4.1 surround mode.

you will need three 1/8" jack (headphone) to RCA adaptors and 3 stereo RCA cables

connect one adaptor and RCA cable from soundcard-FRONT to channel 1 of mixer

connect one adaptor and RCA cable from soundcard-REAR to channel 2 of mixer

connect one adaptor and RCA cable from mixer MASTER OUT to laptop-LINE-IN

in vdj, in the recording section, depending if you want to broadcast or just record, set the input to the soundcard LINE-IN...

And thats all it takes.... There is actually a guide with an image somewhere in this forum.. not sure where though.

whoops, sorry i may have misread that.

did you say you have

a) 3 outputs/line-out/line-in/mic
b) 3 outputs: line-out/line-in/mic

the first one being 3 + 1 + 1 + 1... I think you mean b), so disregard my post, sky is correct.

never tried using a secondary sound card. the way i look at it, you need to buy another one how, and even for a cheap price you can still get one sound card that does it all for you...

Do you have firewire and are you using a tower or a laptop?
USB is WAY over priced right now for these A/D audio interfaces. Firewire is a bit cheaper but PCI (short slot) is the best solution if available. I picked up a Maya 44 PCI for $41 off of eBay just last night.

Two sound cards do work but they most likely won't be true ASIO and they will have latency. I remember YEARS ago that was the only way to make it work, two sound cards.

If you must go the 2 x Sound card route go to eBay and get yourself a USB interface. they will cost you $10 with shipping. They only have a line out and a mic in and they arn't the best but until you are ready to make the investment that is a simple and cheap solution. Let's face it, when a A/D card casts as much as a new CDX it would be kinda silly to pass up on true hardware. A CD-MP3 system will work better than all software simply because you won't need a monitor lol
