Best External Sound Card For Pcdj Dex 3 Full Crack
You would only use two separate sound cards with DEX 3 if you plan to use one for headphone cuing and one for main output – thus you would need to use the on-screen mixer and not use an external mixer in this scenario.
Using two different cards will introduce sync issues – thus breaking some features built around the beat grid. When one is JUST for headphone cuing, allowing the other card to handle the deck playback, it’s not an issue because the cue channel isn’t playing live (so no problem if it’s a little out of sync with the master).
You want ONE audio interface with 2 stereo outputs for external mixer usage. You would also be using ASIO drivers with a pro audio multi-channel interface, which will increase overall software performance (lower latency control etc). This one is really popular for DJs right now: https://us.focusrite.com/usb-audio-interfaces/scarlett-2i4
Let me know if you need any further assistance!
The sound card you provided a link to is only a single output USB audio interface. It also doesn’t come with multichannel drivers. You need a proper 2 stereo output pro audio USB interface if you want to use an external mixer with DEX 3. The focusrite Scarlett 2i4 is a nice option but you could also use the Numark DJIO2 (a little less expensive).
You’re right – the DJIO2 is not ideal for external mixer use. The original DJIO was, however!
Here’s another quality option: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/AudioHub24–novation-audiohub-2×4?
Under DEX 3’s audio routing tab in options:
From the select audio device drop down menu you would select the sound card name which should also have ASIO listed right after it, then:
Deck A: 1/2
Deck B: 3/4
Deck C: 1/2
Deck D: 3/4
Headphones: NONEAll other options on NONE or NO AUDIO. Then, put a tick in the box for “disable crossfader and volume control (external mixer mode)”
That should do it.
