External USB Sound Card

Sup guys.. I'm looking for an external usb sound card so I can have two channels coming out of my virtual DJ and was wondering what you guys thought i should get. I've been looking around and it seems everyone seems to like this Maya 44 USB sound card which would work with VDJ and Vista.

It has 4 line in/out's and the latency is pretty low. Its about $99 which is reasonable I think, I don't want to get a cheap one and have it crap out. So here's the link. Let me know what you guys think.

BTW I have an HP Pavilion dv7 with a 2.1ghz AMD processor.

 

yea,i think its pretty good,after reading it and stuff,looks like ah good deal

 

well if you are willing to spend some dollars go for serato, I'm telling you it beats the hell out of the other brands in my opinion. Had it for about 2 months now and its really easy to use especially when you know the basics.

 

that one is pretty good, but i use DJIO from Numark products work very good never had any problems with it its it aound $80...here a link to it ..

Yea the specs on it def looks pretty good for a basic DJ setup.. it seems to have the most performance for your buck outta most of the cards..

As for serato.. yea man i was thinking of getting that.. but seeing as i'm just really starting up i wanna keep everything a little lower cost right now and see how far I can go later on na'mean? But i def wanna work my way up to use serato..

The DJ IO is a solid card too i heard but i like this maya one cuz it has 4 lines and i think the latency on the IO is a little bit higher.. i'll order it today and let you guys know how it works wtih vdj

 

when you say "low latency"
that doesnt mean much
its usb
usb chews up cpu

and if you dont have a strong cpu and memory to begin with your already hurting chances.

combine that with a poor dvs equals =fail!!!!!!

but i have been seeing allot of vdj users using that maya shit so i would go that route anyways LOL.

research it man there are a trillion threads on millions other forums about this card, dont ask here not many guys here even dj.

 

A friend of mine had one of those. They work pretty good and worth the money I think.

 

ite thanks bro.. im ordering it right now... i know usb isnt prolly the best way to go but i need another sound card so i can cue and this way seems the easiest... ill let u guys kno whats good

 

hi guys it is my first time in here i like what i see so far, but i have a question about the DJ soundcard, Does anyone use the DJI or any soundcard to use virtual DJ on VIsta 64bit or wondows 7. with em on vista i get a disorted noise for liek 15 to 20 minutes and it is teribble making me go crazy. so any help. i know serato is the way 2 go, but 699. omg thats my rnt. lol but serious need some help please

 

i've been using the maya usb card on vista 64x and it's been workin' great bro.. no issues at all.. install and configure in vdj and you're good to go.. it's either the soundcard or something to do with the computer speakers.. try the soundcard on a different laptop to see if that's the problem.. if it's not then that cancels that issue out and it has to do with your computer

 

Well on XP it work fines, on another Vista Computer same thing. i mean The Numark DJIO is one of the best out there, and pretty much is the same as GigaPort AG and the one u got, NUmark got the Update, but yet still not working i think that an issue with the drivers for the 64bit hardware. i willgo back to my xp use it, upgrade it with memory and more space, make money then purchase SL3

 

yea the maya 44 usb is a great way to start off. I dont see any difference in the serato that the maya can do tho.

 

i was in the same situation like you ...what type of sound card do you have ... because i dont need an external sound card i set one of my headphone jacks using my sound card driver to center and u set virtual DJ to 4.1 Card or Above

 

u cant compare serato wiith maya or DJIO son, now tryign to create war, but serato is solid i believe u aint use it yet so u wont, when i first started using serato is like hell no i go back to VDJ but trust me i forget about DJIO and MAYA my advice for the VDJ people, try the New MixDeck or nothign wont go wrong just save and get the CDJ 400 pioneer. lata
