Thanks but that does the same as the one I already have, the DJ IO. I just need a way of gettin my output to my computer because atm my 2 decks use all the available outputs on the soundcard

Another option would be if you have a CD/DVD recorder etc, in the house, you can send the master output from the mixer straight into that, burn a CD with your mixes and then rip digitally via your laptop's CD drive.

Afterwards your can clean it up, do fades etc in Audacity.

It is not the most elegant solution but it will work.

Could you clarify that.
What outputs are available on the 2 decks and where/what are they connected to?

If I am reading him correctly his decks are connected by usb to the computer where the functionality (jog wheels, pitch control, etc) act as a sort of midi controller for tracks otherwise played via Traktor.

Traktor then sends the virtual decks to the 2 outputs on his soundcard, that are then fed into separate channels on his analogue mixer.

There may be some confusion because his decks can also be used as CD players and have line outs for that purpose, but that is not the way he is going.

That is the issue that needs clarifying.
We've had several users with Traktor software and CD decks that have had trouble recording their mixes, but I don't think that question has ever been answered, so we are unable to help them.

This is the same as my current sound card. I just need and output from the card that goes to an input ony laptop. However my laptop has no input jacks at all! So im kinda stumped
