The Final Word on Extigy and ASIO

DjAs7r0 · Jul 30, 2003, 02:20 AM

Greetings,

I have spent hours searchign thru forums and visited many external websites for as much information on the Extigy as possible.

Ok i would like some first hand experience if possible that is the only way to get factual replies.

I am a mobile dj and have purchased the Extigy the main reason for doing this is cause i would like to have an external configuration for when i dj at parties instead of carrying around a whole computer.

I use Native Instruments Dj Traktor Studio.

It has full ASIO support and i have successfully been using it with my current LIVE configuration in my computer no problems at all with the KX Drivers

NOW I KNOW that KX will prolly never support the Extigy due to its crippled chipset and that is sad, but we have to live with it.

Although i did get recommended a few websites for thirdparty products that will give full ASIO support for USB soundcards which is a godsend although i would like to know if anyone has been using this configuration as yet ?

Has anyone got the Extigy and use Native Instruments Traktor Dj Studio ?

Has anyone tried these third party USB ASIO drivers and can say they successfully work great ?

I personally think that the Extigy is a great product but limited in this repect, as i said i am using it primarily for mobile djing purposes.

On a final note im sure there are many musicians and dj's on this forum, what relatively inexpensive set do you recommend for mobile djing i would like to use a software based or hardware based solution eg..... Dj Traktor Studio with a external mixer.

thanx very much for your time.

Hi!

Yes, I´ve tested an ASIO-Driver with the Extigy. You can download a demoversion for testing and later, if you want, you can purchase it. The adress:

www.usb-audio.com

I can say, that the driver runs well, but there are some limitations for the Extigy and maybe this will be changed in future (or not). You are right: the Extigy is a very fine thing with a great sound, but the current drivers which comes with it, are finally unusual. That´s the reason of why I now use an Audigy card. Maybe some time there will be a light...

Best wishes!
