Reply to s4 monitor

Am I to understand that when I'm running the S4 into an external audio card into my Mac that I cannot monitor from the S4 headphones while I have my in/out settings set to this external card?

Because this is absolute bs. I have my monitors running off my profire610 and the S4 running TRS outputs into my audio card. When I set the prefs in Traktor to Profire so I can hear my Audio, I can no longer hear the headphone monitor, but when I switch back to the s4 in the traktor prefs I get the monitor but obviously now my profire setup doesn't output. WTF!

what a piece of shit controller. I want to enjoy this damn thing, but why do you make it so f'ing hard. The S4 as an audio controller is a latency filled piece of crap. Why can't I use it with my damn audio interface AND get a damn monitor.

Now I gotta spend more money, more damn cables to fix this damn piece of shit so it'll work the way it should work.
