**Looking for a DJ soundcard for house parties** Hello, I’m currently looking for a sound card to buy for when I’m playing at friends’ house parties… As they don’t have club equipment, I’m looking for a USB one and with two audio outputs, one for the speakers and the other one (preferably a jack 3.5mm) for my HD-25s and fully operational with Ableton and a Macbook Pro Retina (under Mavericks)… So what do you recommend me guys ? 🙂 Thanks in advance, Spoke, Launchpad performer. ---

The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 is popular, reliable and lightweight (assuming you mean audio interface rather than sound card) ---

The Focusrite 2i4 will allow monitoring of one song as you play another…and that is a useful feature to have.
