I own a powerbook g4 and have recently downloaded some dj mixing software like dj1800, obelisk and tactile. However I have not been able to make a single mix as I'm not sure how to plug my headphones in alongside my speakers which use the headphone/line out socket. The other socket seems to be intended for speakers (it has a picture of a circle with two triangles coming out of it!?) but when i plug them into it the sound continues to come out of the built in ones.
Do I need a new driver so the other socket will recognise my speakers? Or perhaps a splitter so i can plug headphones and speakers into the same socket? Any help would be much appreciated! Cheers DAN |

I would reccomend a 1/8 stero jack to rca's cable (get it at an electronics store). run this from your audio out of computer into a channel of a mixing desk, (say a cheap beringer 6 channel desk or even a 2 ch dj desk with crossfaders) then run your monitors out of the main outs of desk. This way you can plug headphones into desk and control the monitors as well.
I sure hope your problems get simpler. This is real basic stuff here. |
