SSL big six mixer - will it work with Traktor?

mrkeeny

Hi all, I’m thinking i might be able to replace both my Rane 2015 and my Clarret with a B6.

im assuming (maybe wrongly) that I will just be able to choose the B6 interface channels in Traktor config and it will work, but not entirely sure what constitutes a ‘Traktor certified’ mixer and whether there is more to it.

had anybody tried to use Tracktor with a B6 or have any knowledge as to whether it will or will not work?

Hey Martin, the B6 is a mixing console. It is designed to be a production mixing desk, not a DJ mixer.

I've never seen anyone DJing with such thing. The Traktor features won't work on it.

I know it’s not a dj mixer. I intend to use it for other things as well - presuming it works.

it’s also a usb audio interface, so was thinking I could use Traktor in external mixer mode and just send the audio from Traktor to the device and use the mixer functionality.

Well, technically it should be possible. But regarding mixing comfort and efficiency, I'm having doubts.

Let us know how it turns out in case you try, there's always a place for experimentation 😉
