Audio 2 or Maya44?

I've just been using Traktor Pro 2 as a trial (30 minutes is a bit mean isn't it?)

I like it, a lot! I will be buying it soon. However, obviously I need some kind of soundcard/audio interface to cue and output, and was wondering is there any advantage to the 4channels Maya44 offers over the 2 channels of Audio 2?

If I get Audio2, can I have headphones in one output for Cueing, and a line out from the other? Also.. can I take that line out and plug it into the line-in of my X-Fi sound card for recording?

Sorry for the n00b questions... but I'm a n00b

I hope you can help.

Hi. With Maya 44 USB you need separate headphone amplifier because with Maya's headphone output you can only listen all channels at once (no cueing). And you can't officialy use Maya 44 inputs for timecode control.
So, go for Audio 2

 

Thanks. I've decided to get neither, and have got the Numark Omni controller.

 

Yup! That was Probably the best choice, the Audio 2 and Maya44 dont really suit your needs, a Controller with Traktor is a good choice

Enjoy =D

 

Arrrgh! a week after buying the Omni, NI release the S2! LOL

 

Yeah the S2 is a great unit. Omni is a great piece too actually
