A FireWire Connection for the Mackie d.2 DJ Mixer. The Mackie d.2 FireWire card is especially designed for the Mackie d.2 DJ mixer. It allows you to connect your d.2 directly to your computer to mix in mp3s or audio files. The FireWire card provides two stereo program channels into the mixer, as well as a single stereo output.

In addition, every d.2 FireWire card ships with a copy of Mackie's easy-to-use Tracktion Music Production Software, which is compatible with both Windows and Macintosh systems. Unlike other recording and sequencing software, Tracktion imposes no limits on the number of tracks or effects utilized in your project. The host computer's available horsepower can only be stretched so far, but with Tracktion, you can extend your computer's playback and processing power indefinitely. Thanks to Tracktion's "Freeze Tracks" function, your Mac or PC can secretly render (Freeze) groups of audio tracks and effects, thereby freeing up those valuable processing resources for additional tracks or effects. But wait, there's more! Frozen tracks' edits and effects can be "thawed", tweaked and then re-frozen at any time.

Tracktion's flexible architecture lets you explore complex permutations of digital audio clips, MIDI sequences and plug-in effects just by dragging and dropping them around the screen. More importantly, it allows you to assemble your ideas almost as quickly as you can dream them. That's the key - Tracktion will keep up with the fast pace of your creative process. All the editing is done on one screen, avoiding dozens of floating windows and pop-up panels that other applications present but that really just get in your way.
