OPEN Options: The World Class Stanton ScratchAmp
ScratchAmp is a generic but powerful audio interface tailored towards the inputs and outputs that a performing DJ would require when using software. Because the ScratchAmp is an ASIO / WDM device on Windows and is a class compliant CoreAudio device on the MacOS, it can work with virtually every audio application on the planet. Traditional non pro-audio applications will work with the WDM driver and CoreAudio compliancy, allowing programs such as iTunes, Windows Media Player, WinAmp, PowerDVD and games to utilize the ScratchAmp. The Asio and CoreAudio compatibility ensure that pro-audio applications such as Cubase, Project 5, Ableton Live, FL Studio, Reason and others will run flawlessly with the sound card. The interface allows you to plug in your turntables, CD players, headphones and microphone to industry-standard 24-bit/96kHz converters for studio-quality sound, perfect for utilizing any software that does not ship with a soundcard, such as MixVibes, DeckaDance, Ableton Live, Virtual DJ, OtsDJ, PCDJ and more.
   

The Power of FireWire
The ScratchAmp is expertly engineered, using FireWire protocol to process multi-channel audio with minimal latency, allowing the software decks to respond as quickly as your hands. A FireWire Thru port lets you connect an iPod™or external hard drive. The ScratchAmp's integrated switching power supply can be powered directly off of the FireWire bus of a Mac laptop or powered externally when permanently installed or used with a PC laptop.
