Hi,

Still got this old setup that I'd like to connect to Traktor. I'm lagging behind with all the new hardware, although I'd like to keep the Vestax mixer. What USB device is the latest and greatest being supported by Traktor?

    Reloop flux.

    Everything else is relatively old.

    You can often get a used Traktor Audio 6 for ~60 EUR used, but that is neither the latest or the greatest. I think nowday a lot of DJs just use mixers with build in audio interface, like a DJM or Xone96.

    Or you can use Phase DJ https://phasedj.com

    Does Reloop Flux work with Traktor? I see that it is a Serato product…

    Yes. It's just an audio interface. If the computer sees it, it works with traktor. With traktor 3 you have to do the "output and input routing" by hand one time, with traktor 4 it works out of the box.

    You can search this sub, there are users who posted their experience with it.

    Reloop Flux is nice. But £350!

    This would work:

    The ESi interface suggested by @Patch won't work with Technics SL-1200/1210 turntables. The inputs are line level only and are missing phono preamps. The turntables will only deliver phono levels. You can add two dedicated phono preamps but that will add much more cables. That is always the challenge if you are looking for audio interfaces to work with control vinyl.

    But the U46XL will work with Turntables with integrated phono preamps (thus delivering line levels) or a CDJs with timecode CDs or the signal on a stick.

    I had an ESI U46DJ and that had software pre-amps in the driver/utility. I assume that's the same for the U46XL?
