OK, that makes much more sense :)

So you have your 2x CDJs connected via phono/RCA cables to your Numark m6 mixer, with an output from there connected to your djio???

The problem is that your djio is primarily intended as an output device, say to a PA system or from a digital source to an analogue mixer.

You could potentially try sending the output from your mixer into the Microphone input on the DJ IO but even if Audacity can see it the sound quality may be very poor; it is not really intended for that purpose.

Alternatively you need a soundcard with line input.
