    Default A producer starts djing (split cue problem)

    Hello! It's time for me to start djing, and I already got VCI-400 EGE. Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 DSP is my soundcard. I want to be able to use my headphones and speakers at the same time, but i can't get the setup right. I know there are several threads about this out there, but I just can't get it to sound right. . 2.JPG1.JPG

    Any ideas? Big thanks!

    Just curious...but why don't you use the sound card on the VCI-400?

    Anyway, check that you are using the right outputs for monitor and main mix...I may be wrong, but I think the saffire pro 24 uses outputs 3/4 for the headphone out...so in essence you may have your output routing backwards. try that.
    Traktor: Kontrol X1, Kontrol F1, DN-MC3000, DN-X1700
    Ableton: Launchpad, nanoKontrol2, LPK-25, BCR2000

    Post a screen cap of your soundcard's routing settings (Saffire MixControl)

    DirtyNerd: Because I don't want to change my monitorcables all the time (from producing to djing).

    Your problem is all your outs are spitting Mix1, you need to reassign them.

    there is a little button on the saffire just under the headphone port to put it on 1/2 or 3/4

    Don't have my saffire with me so can't open it's mixer.

    @calgarac: the buttons are for dim and mute functions in the DSP model, the regular 24 doesn't have any.

    I usually set monitor to DAW 1 / DAW 2 and line monitoring (the headphone icon in Saffire MixControl) to DAW 8 / DAW 9. Then I route those in Traktor to respective output for direct and cue.
