Try one of these first.

Originally posted by Cro_Addict I have been pretty pissed of with Traktor lately. I was getting crackles, but I fixed it by increasing my latency. And then I start getting noise through the headphones but only when the laptop is plugged in. If I run on battery its fine. I found I could use a ground loop isolator between the sound card and the mixer, but here is my problem. Do I have to buy 1 for every channel? Do they make some kind of multi-channel ground loop isolators?? because I really do not want to pay $80 ($20 x 4 channels). If anyone has any other ideas please let me know.

If the soundcard is internal, you'd probably just need one from the soundcard to your computer's line-in.

I am using the Xone 2D, so the sound card is external.

I am going to try the above (culorut's) suggestion and see if that works

Yea I have a ground loop isolator on my Vestax's master out to my macbook's line in
Got it at the shitshack for $20

master out to line-in???

I am confused..
What is your setup like?

ok here is my setup..

Laptop to Xone 2D via usb (2D has the sound card) then Xone 2D to the mixer.

So you're telling me if I put a ground loop isolator from my mixer or the 2D into my laptop line-in it would solve the problem??

1x CDJ 100
1x CDJ 200
1x Vestax VMC-004
1x 4/4 Audio Interface

CDJs and mixer plugged into input/out of interface

Interface USB into laptop

I do my recording on the laptop
so I plugged http://www.radioshack.com/product/i...oductId=2062214 into my master out and from there I have a RCA to 1/8" cable going to my Macbook's native soundcard's line in
