vci-1000 + macbook pro = headphones?

Cant have stereo. Cant split the signal.

This works by Setting the Output in Traktor to Mono . Its actually stereo but through one lead (split into 2) so you get both left/right in each cable. You just wont hear any stereo panning.

The way i used it was a bit different from Hedgehog.
If you have an external mixer it means you can have Deck A in one channel and Deck B in the other and cue using the mixers headphone out.

One of these.


Two of these (one on each of the RCAs above)


2 of these RCA leads. One goes to channel A on mixer one goes to Channel B.


It was a long time ago , i hope i remembered this right ???

Even when one FX channel is active for each deck?
Can't take mine below 10ms, but I have a crappy IBM Lenovo T61.

each channel with efx on also with keylock on...i´m on an old hp nc8000; 1.6ghz/2gigs ram...

how are your settings in the asio4all control panel?

i'm a little confused, if the way your talking about doing it isnt the real way, like i want stereo not mono and mono, what do i have to buy, an external soundcard?

if you want the real deal you got to purchase an external soundcard with 2 outputs, one master and one monitor.. there are a lot of solutions out there, in almost every pricerange.. just search the forum for soundcard..

and here's a great vid of ean to the subject..

The Native Instruments Audio4 DJ has all the outputs you'll need. I actually really like the "Conectiv" interface from M-Audio; it's ideal for both Torq and Ms.Pinky-based DVS because it has built-in phono preamps. It also has a convenient knob on the top to mix the headphone jack between outputs 1-2 and outputs 3-4.

So for example, you can send the Traktor main output to outputs 1-2 on the Conectiv, and the Cue output to 3-4, and use the knob on the hardware interface to cue with true-zero latency.

The Audio4DJ streets for $199, and AFAIK the Conectiv is only available with the Conectiv Torq product (which streets for $299). You might find a great used deal on a Conectiv though, because lots of peeps start with Torq as their first DVS and trade up to Serato later.

Finally, there may be software for your Mac that allows you to "merge" more than one 2-channel audio interface (like a Kensington iMic) into a virtual 4+ channel interface. That's a) only worth the hassle if you already have some iMic's laying around, and b) a lower quality, lower stability solution than a real multichannel audio i/o.

Since it sounds like you're mostly aiming toward Traktor, I'd go with the Audio4. It'll be the most important $200 you spend for quite a while.

hey guys, i just got my vci-100 and i was wondering if there is anyway to get my headphones working without buying any additional soundboxes or anything of that matter.

I think everyone has forgotten what the O.P. actually asked

[Jester]

Short answer...Nope. The amount of time you'll spend stuffing around trying to split your sound up u may as well just get a S/C dude.

If forgetting the original question is for the OP's own good, is it still wrong?
