If I get the Kontrol Z1, do I need an external soundcard like the Audio MK2 while running traktor on a macbook pro?

Definitely not needed. On board 24 bit sound card is why it's so great. I think running through multiple sound cards is more problematic than helpful.

No. It runs normaly with the macbook. (Pelo se nome parace que vc é brasileiro kk, funciona normal, pode ligar no seu mac e mixar sem problemas. Até hoje nao entendi o uso muito bem do cartao de audio MK2 da tracktor.

No. The Z1 has an internal sound card with RCA unbalanced output. The audio 2 has balanced TRS output but is unnecessary with a Z1

Any soundcard with midi input (about of 99.9% of the soundcards in the market)... Moreover, you don't even need a soundcard with MIDI input, since you can purchase a MIDI to USB converter (extremely cheap piece of gear), and plug it directly to the USB-IN of your PC/notebook. If your soundcard doesn't have ASIO drivers, which is common (in mac the drivers are different), you download the ASIO4ALL drivers, which will work teaming with any soundcard at all, and are free, BTW.

If it has trs inputs or has the ability to take a usb soundcard with trs inputs. In short you must have trs ins

I have the Traktor F1 controller and it works fine with the 4Trak. Is there a T1 in the product range of Native Instruments (Traktor), I don't seem to find it?

If he has access to the internet, the Novation line of products has a very informative reputation. You can find tons of user-friendly videos on the Launchpad S on how to set it up. A new Launchpad S doesn't come with much of an instruction book, but they're very easy to use regardless. --and yes, Launchpad S works on a MacBook Pro and is supported by many workstations and should interface with the Traktor S2 just fine if he sets it up correctly.

I don't see why not. I run one on a dual core 4GB with windows 8. You might need to tweak your drivers to stop audio drop outs if you get any. Also don't run too many other apps alongside Traktor.

It is a MIDI controller it has no sound stored on it yes you'll need to hook it up to the computer to get sounds or connect it to a synth rack/box for sound. So it can function without the computer but you'll need a synth rack for sound and you need power via USB such as a USB outlet adapter.

You would need an external sound interface. It doesn't have an internal sound card like the Ren. BTW MPCs now are just controllers for the software.

do i have to have a DJ program in order to use this or any other device such as an external sound card?

I actually have one of the new Macbook Pros with Retina as well. I bought my MPD32 used and it was completely lacking the included Ableton Live Lite Akai Pro Edition which it should have been bundled with. You should be able to get a copy online I'm sure. I believe you can always get a demo of Ableton Live from them directly as well at https://www.ableton.com/en/trial/. Honestly, you don't NEED that software.The AC Adapter is a little superfluous. Because the MPD32 is primarily a midi controller, I plug it directly into the Mac via USB and viola, we're off and running.

it only controls the effects and play/loop functions of the Traktor software. It does not have a soundcard or a sound component. I don't know about windows 8. hope that helps

Hi, it works on Traktor for both Mac and Windows by simply downloading the .tsi file in pioneerdj.com/support. It as well works with any DJ software app for an iPad by buying the WeCai cable to connect it.

The Keytar is just a midi-controller, so you'll still need a computer to actually produce sounds. (So, the music would come out of the computer; the keytar doesn't have sound outputs.)

I'm not sure I'm sorry. I don't own the traktor Kontrol S2 so I wouldn't want to give you a misleading answer.

I know it says Numark...but Numark doesn't support it. Spend more to get something as professional as Traktor software is.

Yes, every version of traktor and pretty much any midi software will work with this. You can download the proper mapping for thr version you have off numarks website and some other djs put some cool mappings up too.

Depends on the software you're using. Traktor allows to have it recorded, Virtual DJ too if not mistaken. Remember it is a controller at the end of the day, just like your keyboard/mouse - it is limited to control the software on your laptop.
