| Kiyoko Wellisch 10.07.2012 | NP! It's hard to explain things on the internet :P |
| Hye Sportel 10.07.2012 | Ah I see. I'll need to pick up some RCA's then as my speakers are using TRS cables at the moment (which the KPQ doesn't have ports for.) Cheers for the help mate, sorry if you ended up hitting your head of the desk towards the end. |
| Kiyoko Wellisch 10.07.2012 | No, you unplug the speakers from the soundcard and then plug them into the output of the KPQ. Then you take a new cable and connect the output from the soundcard to the input of the KPQ. The master has to run THROUGH the KPQ. |
| Hye Sportel 10.07.2012 | Yes, but there is still no where for the KPQ output to go. The speakers go directly into the soundcard. |
| Kiyoko Wellisch 10.07.2012 | If you are using it to apply effects to the master the KPQ goes between the master output from your soundcard and your speakers. [Soundcard] -> [KPQ] -> [Speakers] Set the KPQ to "direct" mode |

| Kiyoko Wellisch 10.07.2012 | It goes to the speakers. The master output from the soundcard flows through the KP Quad but gets effects added to it. |
| Hye Sportel 10.07.2012 | I'm just not sure where the output from the KPQ would go, as my master output is already being used to input to the KPQ. |
| Kiyoko Wellisch 10.07.2012 | Yes that would be ideal but I don't believe traktor supports FX loops so it wouldn't work. I could be wrong. |

| Kiyoko Wellisch 10.07.2012 | On the master? The cable from the soundcard that you would normally plug into your speakers, plug that into the KP Quad and then run a cable from the Quad's output to the speakers. |
| Hye Sportel 10.07.2012 | It'll have to do I guess, its mostly just for jamming out during tracks theres plenty other effects for mixing. Any idea how I would wire it all up? Thats the part I'm stuck with. |
| Kiyoko Wellisch 10.07.2012 | I'm not sure you can create an FX loop with traktor, I believe you'd have to put the KP Quad on the master which is far from ideal really... :/ |
