Traktor Scratch Control Mk2 & 2 x Behringer UCA202 ? Can it work ?

    Hi

    I am using windows 10, and 2 x vinyl decks with a Mixars UNO Battle Mixer.

    I have Traktor Scratch Control Mk 2 as someone bought my Traktor Kontrol Z2 mixer a few months back but did not need the timecode setup.

    I have 2 x Behringer UCA202 interfaces and have ASIO4ALL installed with both interfaces going through the ASIO4ALL.

    I cannot get this to work through Traktor for love nor money though. I have the decks phono going into the Inputs onto each single interface then out of the OUT on the interfaces into the line in on the mixer, with both interfaces connecting to the computer through USB.

    I have tried changing the inputs on preferneces within traktor to External with deck one being Behringer 1 1 & 2 and deck two being Behringer 2 1 & 2.

    Absolutely no signal whatsoever is going through ?

    I have also tried going through the setup wizard on Traktor and Behringer UCA202 are not recognised on there as a compatible product nor is ASIO4ALL.

    I also have a Presonus 16.0.02 USB mixing desk (with USB interface 16in/16out) could I use this somehow instead ?

    Thanks in advance

    Tommy

    You need phono preamps between the tt and the soundcards. Even if these have gain stage since you need RIAA correction to get proper signal.

    Correct, or maybe the turntables have a built-in pre amp but it's not activated. So what is the exact turntables you use. And have you checked in the Asio4all panel that both audio interfaces are activated?

    The turntables are Mixers LTA - I think they have built in pre-amps ?

    Both interfaces are activated in the ASIO4ALL

    Are these interfaces not powerful enough in your opinion ?

    If you have the phone/line switch set to line on the tt you should be fine, also the interfaces should work. I would test all in and outputs with another program then you know for example out 1-2 in Asio4all is really the physical output on interface 1 1-2, and so on, maybe you have there something wrong.

    Or you just use an mp3 and switch main out until you hear something and so on - I guess you get the idea. Then same for inputs with tt.

    I am using Traktor Scratch Control Mk 2

    I have switched the switch on the back of turntables to `line` and have signal now going into Traktor

    I have tried going through all the settings but I cannot get the main decks in traktor to activate for timecode ? The timecode options are greyed out for it

    I am including multiple pictures of the settings menu etc for you to see

    Thanks for your time spent so far its greatly appreciated

    Your version of Traktor will only work with timecode when a Z2 or any Traktor certified mixer or soundcard is connected.

    You have to upgrade to Traktor pro 3.
