So here’s the deal.
I connect my soundcard into the side of my laptop, no problem; this soundcard has a 1/8” 35mm `input` and `out put` connection which comes with an adaptor for either 2phonos or 2jacks at the end.
The midi controller has a USB connection which goes to the laptop and a power supply and at the back on the rear panel it has 3 phono connections
1. One for the master left and right
2. Two analogue inputs A and B
A is phono for turntable
B is for CD player or tape deck
I will have 2 set ups, one for my bedroom and one to play out at a club; I say this because, I will use my own speakers at home, with the set up above and when playing out, I will discard the speakers and connect through the clubs mixers through the inputs IS THIS RIGHT.
So for my bedroom set up, WILL I, connect the `phono speakers` to back of the midi controllers master, OR WILL I; go straight into the outputs of soundcard, so that I can here the music from the speakers. I say this as in the manual the bcd2000 is saying to have the audio coming out of the master outputs and straight into the amp, which will be my speakers, but where does the soundcard come into this. Soundcard or midi controller
Then for the club set up, WILL I GO, from the outputs from the sound card into the clubs mixer or will I use the midi controllers master output maintaining zero latency at all times.
Also which option would be best for my headphones midi controller or soundcard, there seems to be 2 options for everything but not sure which one to use.
Confused any advice on this long drawn out question would be greatly appreciated.
