I want help with hercules rmx and audio2

RMX 2 has built-in audio for sure. Not 100% sure about the mk1, but I am assuming it has one as well. In which case you don’t need the audio two. Unless of course you plan on hooking up Turntables or do you plan to use the outputs on audio 2 as extra inputs for the RMX to run decks C and D which you control with the X1?

What you’re referring to only goes for DVS, where you’re using a specific signal to control digital music with analogue gear. What you’re doing is simply using digital gear, so no ‘special’ soundcard needed.
And Vintage, the X1 is made for effects and loops, not for remix decks. You can use it for remix decks, but it sucks. You need an F1 for that. I know, because I own both 😉
No more than two channels for output are needed. You could fire up four remix decks with four samples each at once and it’ll use only two sound channels, plus of course two for your headphones. That’s the beauty of digital 🙂

Hi Nick,

Traktor is becoming more and more interested in only supporting their own hardware platform. Buying an X1 and audio2 is not gonna make your Hercules work better (or work at all) with Traktor.
If Traktor is your chosen platform, it might be time to REPLACE the Hercules with a modular setup (X1 + Z1 for example, no extra soundcard needed because there is one in the Z1) or with a true NI controller (S2 or S4 mk2 or get a used mk1 version).

Hope that helps.
