Scarlett 18i8 3rd Generation does not require seperate DVS system

Diarm10

Do I need pre amps or a DVS system to act as a bridge along with my Scarlett 18i8. I want to use Traktor and timecoded vinyls andheard that the Scarlett can do this without a DVS system. Please see attached Diagram. Focusrite have confirmed this should work, however I am hesitant to get timecoded vinyl and Traktor Pro 4 without confirming.

Traktor has "Scratch for All" since Traktor Pro 3. Therefore Traktor Scratch/DVS works with any audio interface that has inputs and outputs and works with your operating system.

Don't know the Sony PS-DJ9000 though. But my quick research showed that there is no phono preamp in these. As phono levels are much lower than line levels you will need to external phono preamps between your turntables and the Scarlett.

Looking at your diagram I would suggest to connect your speakers to the Master Out of your mixer directly. To record your mixes use the Rec Out of your mixer and connect it back to your interface.

If you find a good offer it can be cheaper to get a used Traktor Audio 6 than two phono preamps. The Audio 6 has integrated phono preamps. This would simplify wiring.
