Mbox
this should work with tcv although it is more designed for production
you may find u46dj a better card if its just for virtual dj
Mbox 2 is a next-generation USB-powered audio/MIDI production system that builds on the performance and simplicity of the original Mbox - Digidesign's most popular personal studio product ever. Featuring a wide range of connection options - including analogue, digital, and MIDI I/O - Mbox 2 delivers professional performance in an incredibly compact package. Mbox 2 also includes award-winning, easy-to-use Digidesign Pro Tools LE software, offering many of the same features that top studios rely on to record, edit, mix, and master commercial albums and blockbuster film sound. In addition, Mbox 2 includes the Pro Tools Ignition Pack, which features several powerful plug-ins, applications, and additional tools to help customers professionally produce and promote their music. With the addition of the Pro Tools Ignition Pack, Mbox 2 includes more than 50 plug-ins and instruments.
Key Improvements in Mbox 2 vs. the Original Mbox
Improved sound quality: Mbox 2 delivers superior sound quality that easily surpasses the sound of almost any other bus-powered USB-audio interface. Mbox 2 features newly designed mic preamps (designed by Digidesign) and new A/D and D/A converters, offering an impressive dynamic range that translates into much more headroom and a significantly lower noise floor. The result is that Mbox 2 users can record ideas more accurately and play them back in greater fidelity than ever before.
MIDI in/out: Unlike the original Mbox, Mbox 2 features a MIDI in/out port, offering improved integration with MIDI controllers, hardware synthesizers and samplers, and virtual instruments.
More tools: Mbox 2 includes more free software and tools than the original Mbox, including the new Pro Tools Ignition Pack. With Mbox 2, customers have more powerful software applications, plug-ins, and other valuable tools to start creating right out of the box.
More simultaneous inputs: Unlike the original Mbox, Mbox 2 enables users to use the two analogue inputs in conjunction with the two channels of S/PDIF digital input on the unit to achieve four simultaneous channels of audio input.
More flexible industrial design: Mbox 2 features a sleek, more practical and flexible design that allows the unit to lie down flat, sit with a convenient upwards tilt for easy access to the front panel controls, or simply stand vertically to fit smaller workspaces.
Though much of the focus of Mbox 2 will be centred on the new industrial design of the hardware, one of the most compelling aspects of the product is that it comes with the Pro Tools Ignition Pack - an impressive array of free, powerful, and fully functioning (i.e., not demos) third-party creative software plug-ins, applications, and tools from some of the biggest names in the industry.
