    would anyone here be able to tell me if the output from a TC-Helicon Touch would give enough level to plug in to a Native Instruments Traktor Audio 6 interface? this is to process a trumpet on a live electronic music gig...

    the specs for the TC-Helicon output are:

    Connectors, balanced: XLR (for mono) and 1/4″ phone jack
    Output Impedance Balanced/ Unbalanced: 80/40 Ohm
    Output Range: Line: 14.5 dBu
    Dynamic Range: > 109 dB, 20 Hz to 20 kHz

    the specs for the Traktor Audio 6 line inputs are:

    Full Scale Input Level +12 dBu, 3.08 Vrms
    Gain -2.6 dB
    Dynamic Range 98.9 dB (A)

    any help much appreciated

    Should be fine. Your main problem is that the Traktor input is unbalanced and so you run the risk of ground loops, depending on which way you wire the TRS output of the TC to the RCA input of the Traktor. Test in advance maybe?
