    Hello,

    traktor 3 doesn't need a special certified interface anymore. As you can read here every interface with enough inputs and outputs will work, only the preamps can be an issue: https://support.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000509157-TRAKTOR-PRO-3-Timecode-Setup-Guide

    There will be no technical support for audio 6 etc. is that right?
    Thanks

    There will be no technical support for audio 6, etc., is this correct?
    
    You are not going to release any sound card to replace traktor audio 6????
    Thanks

    If you get your Audio 6 used you don't have any warranty but it is still supported by NI. How long it still will be? Nobody outside of NI can really tell. Maybe it is over next week, in 10 years or with the next major release of your operating system. But it is class compliant chances are good that it will work pretty long. If you need warranty NI is selling these as refurbished with 24 months warranty. But I am not sure if they ship outside EU and UK.

    I don't expect a new DJ audio interface from NI. Traktor Audio 2, 6 and 10 are retired some time by now. If successors were planned you would usually announce them with retirement of the old models. Other brands also stepped back form these market: Rane SL range and Denon DS1 aren't longer available too. Just Reloop stepped in with its Flux and then you have Pioneer DJ Interface 2. If I am not missing out on another interface that's it for DVS specific interfaces at the moment.

    OK
    THANKS FOR THE INFO
    WHAT OPTION DO YOU SEE IF YOU WANT TO USE TIMECODES WITH VINYL ???
    BUY THE PIONEER INTERFACE FOR 300 EUROS
    WHAT DO YOU THINK ???????????
    AT LEAST YOU WILL HAVE UPDATES

    WHICH IS THE BEST OPTION OF THE 2???
    PIONEER INTERFACE 2 VS PHASE ESSENTIAL
    THANK YOU

    I personally use a Xone:96 as my mixer. It contains 12 ch in/12 ch out audio interface and phono pre amps. Perfectly suited to use Traktor DVS. Many DJ mixers contain suitable inzerfaces these days.
    For use at other locations where I don‘t bring my mixer and no mixer with integrated interface is available I have a Denon DS1 interface. Made a real bargain on it some years ago on black friday at Thomann. Just two decks but better than nothing.
    If I had to get a new interface today I think I would get a Reloop Flux. Has enough inputs and outputs for 3 decks. Or maybe a used Traktor Audio 6 or 10. If you don‘t have the need to use rekordbox in performance mode I would avoid Pioneer DJs Interface 2 - only suitable for two decks. But unlocks Performance mode an DVS in rekordbox. But here in the NI community we are all using Traktor Pro of course. 😇

    I am no friend of Phase. Absolute mode is essential to me. Read reports of not working really good with Traktor Pro at some places because Traktors timecode has some differences to most others. But have to admit: Never used it myself. If HID mode for Traktor should really arrive some day this could be a good solution if you don‘t need absolute mode and needle dropping.

    If I had to choose between phase and Interface to my choice would be Interface 2. With a free choice none of both.

    Just a hint: Writing in capitals only is usually considered as shouting in boards. I expect you don‘t want to shout at us. :-)
