Multicore cable alternative
My multicore cables are broken and I wanted to order new ones but they are out of service so my question is what is the alternative?
I've found this post but I cannot find the 1x female to 2x male cables.
Can somebody guide me please?

Hi there,
since the Live Input functionality has been added to Traktor, the multicore cables are no longer required. The Knowledge Base provides in-depth instructions:
How to use External Audio as Live Input in TRAKTOR
When using a Traktor Audio 6 or 10, there is the Direct Thru feature as well:

You need 2 of these PER TURNTABLE:

I'm afraid this is not correct. All you need is the Live Input function.

And how can I use the timecode vinyl then? This is for live input into traktor but I also want to be able to use the timecode vinyl. The signal somehow has to get back to the mixer?
I can use my phono turntable directly into my sound card but how can I get my output back to my mixer?

Well, the setup is very simple: you connect your turntable output to the soundcard input, and the soundcard output to your mixer input. In order to use DVS, you set the respective deck to Scratch Control. When you want to use real vinyl, you choose Live Input:
Click on the respective Deck Letter in order to access the menu.

The mixer does not need midi.
With the switch to "live input" the sound goes from the turntable, through the mixer, into traktor and via interface back to the mixer. That means you can also add traktor effects to a normal vinyl.
If you want to circumvent traktor, don't you just have to switch the channel input on the mixer from "USB" to "Phono"?

Yes, switching Deck Flavours is mappable:

I have tried this out but now my output signal is very low when I use live input. Do I need preamps?
0 -
Yes, for vinyl you need pre amps.
Does your mixer not have any?

I managed to get a decent output signal by increasing the gain in traktor but it is pretty annoying that I need do that everytime I switch between digital or vinyl

The gain knob on the deck? It's somewhat common to adjust that between each track, even if you play from the same medium.

Changing the gain between each track is common indeed but when I switch to live input I need to increase the gain inside traktor and also on my mixer. When I switch back to scratch input then I need to decrease the gain inside traktor because otherwise it is too loud.

Oh that is weird. I don't need to do that on my S4 mk3.
If your mixer/controller or turntables does not have an pre-amp at all, might be worth to get an external one that you can connect between Turntable and mixer input.

For this kind of operation, you really should use a sound card that comes with preamps and set the respective input(s) to PHONO. If you were using multicore cables before, then your audio device must have such.
