I have an old pair of turntables lying around and i am wondering if it is possible to hook them up to my laptop through my saffire pro 6 for use with traktor. If it is could anyone send me a link on how to do it. Thanks

Sorry if im not helpful here but why don't you just use vinyl recs?

Not sure about connecting them to traktor tho.

It is not possible unless you upgrade to Traktor Scratch Pro with the NI soundcard and control vinyls.

What I would do in your situation is to either upgrade or get your hands on a 4 channel DJ mixer. The turntables on two channels and the version of Traktor that you have on the other two channels. You should be able to mix just fine using that type of setup.
