    It will be fine. You will be able to connect your existing soundcard to the club PA / Mixer.
    Do you have your Mixtrack connected to this soundcard now and use it to provide a headphone and separate master out? If so it would be exactly the same in a club only instead of the master out connecting to your speakers / monitors, you would connect this to the club mixer.
    its not exactly a pro set up / soundcard but it will work. You may want to look at upgrading the soundcard at some point but this is, as ever a personal choice.

    I’d rather use asio4all than the djIO. You’ll actually be able to get lower latency without that interface.

    The Mixtrak does not have a sound card – so some sort of soundcard must be used, that could be the DJio or another “pro” type. Either way a soundcard will be needed to provide the “Cue” and “Master” signals.

    I understand that guys, that’s why I have the io, but I was asking about using traktor in a club using kontrol x1, would I need another interface like audio8 or would the io be suffice to plug into the mixer . Thanks for the replies though

    I was answering spektakx post.

    Like I said in my 1st post, you will be fine with the Mixtrack, X1 + DJio combo.

    That depends on if the mixer has a soundcard built in that is Traktor certified.
    If it is then yes if not no…..

    It will work regardless of if the mixer is certified or not as the DJio would be the audio soundcard.

    Sorry my bad I did read the text too fast and did not notice the DJio part or that it was a soundcard 🙁
    But will that soundcard really sound OK in a club PA??

    It’s not the best solution, but it would be OK in a small venue. Like I said in my 1st post, it may be worth upgrading at some point.
