Into the crowded market of portable USB audio interfaces, Native Instruments have released three new boxes. Have your own extreme budget DJing solution that you use (or had to use in the past)? Let us know in the comments below how you made it happen without throwing down dough.If you want an affordable audio interface that also offers control of your modular system, read on. There’s also a place to adjust what type of time code is being used with the system, and additional latency control within the preferences if you’re still having issues. You’ll need to configure the settings to choose the soundcards’ (or combined audio device, if applicable) inputs as the timecode input, and the outputs as the master out (see image above). Routing the audio with the combined ASIO4ALL device There’s free timecode control that works with Serato, Traktor, or Mixvibes control signals, and the ability to use multiple soundcards within the software’s settings.

Virtual DJ will work fine, but to unlock timecode control will run $299 for the Pro version. Serato and Traktor are out right away as they both require proprietary scratch soundcards. The last step of getting this budget rig all working is on the software side of things. SOFTWARE SELECTION Perpetually free, Mixxx is the cheapest DJ software option. Ssamkange found it worked best when reducing the buffer size to 256 samples and using a 44100k sample rate.

We recommend combining them in ASIO4ALL (PC) or the built in Audio MIDI Setup utility on Mac OS X and adjusting the latency compensation/ Buffer Offset / Buffer Size until the latency is acceptable. However, you may need to adjust the latency of the soundcards – and it’s a lot either to do this when they’re grouped together. With the software discussed below, you’re able to route input and output audio across multiple soundcards. Adjusting latency settings is easy in ASIO4ALL This is two for each soundcard – one from the turntable/CDJ to the stereo line input, and one from the stereo output to your mixer. In order to get these soundcards to work for your two-channel DVS setup, you’ll need to have four Y-Cables (Stereo RCA to 1/8″). ROUTING THE AUDIO Standard Y-cables: you’ll need four. The three cards that we’ve sourced over on Amazon are the iLuv USB Audio Adapter ($9.99), CommonByte USB Sound Card ($3.49), and Virtual 5.1-surround USB 2.0 External Sound Card ($1.90). Most of these cheap soundcards have a handful of reviews mentioning an untimely demise.

Here’s a few rules for choosing a cheap soundcard: Did a house party and the whole night used my $7 DVS and it was all good. It likely won’t stand up to the test in a club or major festival environment, but to quote ssamkange‘s email: worked PERFECTLY. You also don’t need the most incredible soundcard ever for timecode control. Forget everything you’ve ever heard about sound cards – it is possible to get halfway decent audio out of a very low-cost USB soundcards. This is the major DJ life hack in this project.

CHEAP SOUNDCARDS A sampling of the sub-$10 soundcards on the market. Odds are that if you’re reading this article, access to a computer isn’t an issue, so that’s not in the budget either. These are not included in the budget challenge. In terms of sound sources, if you don’t already have them, scope your local used gear outlets, Craigslist or the DJTT Buy/Sell forum for two decks (turntables or CDJs) and a mixer. Total: $10 if you’re good, but maxing at around $30 if you go “all out”.
