Having spent a huge amount of money on the DJM and having it's arse kicked by the old Audio 6 interface kind of defeats the purpose of it. It just doesn't play as loud and clear thru Traktor. Trims were set at the same level and no EQ or Preamp-settings in iTunes. I did a comparison having the same track playing from iTunes to channel 1 and timecode Traktor to channel 4.

VU-meters confirm that Traktor attenuates the signal about -3db (limiter off, no autogain). Same tracks played in iTunes thru the DJM-900 sound much better. Better quality DACs and preamps in the box? Why the same doesn't happen when using the Audio 6 interface though? I don't know. Any modifications to the original signal in the digital domain will drastically impair dynamics and quality of the signal. To me this sounds like an unnecessary step if I'm mixing externally. In this article NI state that Traktor attenuates the signal level by -3db in external mixing mode. It's very obvious in bass heavy kick drums (upper low region) that really lack the depth, definition and punch they have played thru the Audio 6 interface. It still sounds lifeless, boring and lacking dynamics.

Updated the firmware and software to the latest versions. I've set everything in Traktor to zero and the EQ's to Classic. I just bought a DJM-900 Nexus and I also have separate Traktor Audio 6 interface from my previous setup to compare to (Ecler Nuo5 + Traktor Audio 6 + Macbook Pro, El Capitan).įirst thing I noticed was the poor sound quality thru the Nexus with Traktor.
