Can anyone help me concering wiring between mixer (Control Pro) and sound card. I'm using virtual decks. Do i need to wire rca's between sound card and mixer or does the sound go through the computer via usb's.
Also what is the best setting to choose from audio setup in Cross DJ for my circumstances.
Finally would i monitor through the mixer or sound card?
Many Thanks Jim

From what I understand you want to use the U-Mix Control Pro as a MIDI Controller while at the same time use the Audio 8 as the sound card. If that is correct, this is how I would do it. (I don't have this setup so this is a trial)

1. Install Any driver for your Audio 8 soundcard.
2. Start Cross/CrossDJ.
3. Verify sound card configuration in Cross/CrossDJ for proper connections with Audio 8. (Master L+ R and Cue L+R)
4. Verify correct operation of the Master and Cue outputs by using the Cross GUI only to playing a track.
5. Connect the U-Mix Control Pro (make sure all drivers are already installed)
6. Verify that audio configuration in Cross/CrossDj is still set for the Audio 8 Soundcard.
7. Select the MIDI mapping for your U-Mix Control Pro.
8. Verify correct operation.

Master and Monitor output should be used from the Audio 8.
Only a USB connection is required for yje U-Mix Control Pro.
Line inputs should be connected to the Audio 8.
This set up should by-pass the audio card on the U-Mix Control Pro but still use the U-Mix Control Pro's MIDI controls for performance.
Make sure you are set for internal mixing.
