does the Nio have separate outputs for the headphones? or do you need to take up one stereo output pair in Live to assign to cue (phones)?
so for a dj setup, would you have to run outputs 1/2 to deck one IN, and 3/4 to deck two IN, and then run headphones from the DJ Mixer? or could you assign a separate output in Live to the cue mix and plug the headphones in the front?
ive read the manual and its still not clear.
anyone using the novation nio 2/4
it has two headphone jacks. you may want to check out the youtube videos. they can be reached directly from Nocations site as well, but streams slower. when djing with live i assign 1/2 to out in ableton and use 3/4 for my cue/monitoring.
Stuff I actually use.
sound card, speakers, mic, MBP, Mighty Mouse, Ableton, Reason, iPad, iPhone,Touchable, Rebirth, & other apps.
Pair of Technics 1200's, and a Pioneer Mixer

I just got mine about a week ago. Had some issues with the Nio at first (distortion on the inputs, crackling when playing two tracks at once on Live) but they were all resolved after I updated the driver.
Pros:
- FX Rack is really cool if you play the guitar or bass.
- 2 inputs; great for cueing songs when DJing.
- Built like a tank.
Cons:
- Did not work "out-of-the-box" with my Vista 32-bit (as mentioned above).
The technical support is great; got a reply from them in just under a day. Overall, I'm very satisfied with it.

i bought one a few months ago,its great value for money.
i bought it for DJing more than anything else, the lowest latentcy i could get out of it for playback was 7ms, whilst live monitoring i could get 15ms (which is slighty to high for realtime effects in my opinion)
the build is rock solid and the installation is a breeze. i didnt bother installing the guitar fx as i already have guitar rig, so i cant comment on them.
one bit of criticism however would be that the output is quite low, i had the knob turned up full and i could only get one green meter bar lighting up.
apart from that, if your looking for a cheap soundcard for DJing that is bus powered and build like a tank, its a no brainer.
plus two headphone outputs really come in handy!
