Here is a list of hardware that should work with djDecks and Vinyl Control.
If you know other products or stores that should be in the list, please let me know.
Also note that I don't have experience with all products or online stores, so I
don't know 100% sure that they will work for you.
You need a soundcard with ASIO drivers, and at least 2 inputs
and 2 outputs.
If you only want to connect one turntable, then 1 input is
enough.
I have only included the number of analog inputs in the table. Some of these
cards have additional digital inputs that can be used when your pre-amp or
turntable has a digital output.
If you have another soundcard that works, please post a new topic on the
forum about it.
There's also a great
topic on the forum that combines all user experiences with different audio
interfaces.

Since most soundcards don't have a phono input, the signal from your turntables
will have to be pre-amplified. You don't need this if you have turntables with a
line-out.
In the latest versions of djDecks, Vinyl Control will work even without
pre-amps. If you also want to play regular records through djDecks, then you
still need a pre-amp though.

Some turntables also have a line-out, which means you don't need a phono
pre-amp.
The turntables in this list have a line-out, so they can be connected to your
soundcard immediately.
