Hi,

I am a newbie to this really. I got my Dj Console mk 2 arrive and my Numark usb turntable so here we go.

I also have a Soundblaster audigy nx 2 external sound card.

How can i set up the hercules and the turntable to play off the same sound card? I have to use the external sb card for normal listening and turntable preview and plug the green speaker jack into the hercules to use the hercules.

Also when i have recorded a vinyl onto my pc is it best in wav or mp3? When I recorded 2 vinyls onto the pc i admittedly quickly normalised the sound files and crudely cut off the silent points at the beginning and end. When i went to mix them they were not really in 100% time. when i use mp3 from cds it is matched perfectly.

Would this just be an editing issue when i record vinyls?

Sorry for jumbled text!

Many thanks,
nick :)

Thanks for the advice!

When I plug the phono's into the back of the dj console 2, the only one i get sound out of is the output 1/2 phonos. When i have the usb plugged in i get a deep hissing noise coming alongside the vinyl playing.

Also what do I need pro for with what i want to do please?

Thanks,.
Nick

Thanks. You say timecoding is limited to 5 minutes? Is recording a vinyl to the pc via the Numark usb turntable timecoding?

Cheers,
nick
