I spent a decade before I left my Technic MK5gs behind hehe |

| Tommy Thiner 13.02.2013 | Im believeing im going to pick up some TRS to XLR cables and try them out of the Venom and see how that works since the XLR is a balanced hookup |
| Alphonso Deitchman 13.02.2013 | RCA should be fine for short distances (under 5m/15ft). |

| Tommy Thiner 13.02.2013 | For everyones information. My current set up the only thing that I dont currently have is the M-Audio Venom (in transit). Everything else is set up and in perfect working condition. I know how to use all the controllers (not like a pro by any means) and dont just buy gear because it looks cool. With my synth on the way I was trying to believe if there was a way for me to hook it up into my set up without having to buy a mixing board. Since I have spent a decent amount of cash on my set up. Honestly didnt believe there was any other way but figured if anyone knew it would be someone on here. Yes I dont have much knowledge when it comes to synths but hey everyones gotta start somewhere and with getting it at a price of $178 new I really didnt take anything into consideration before purchasing it because the deal had me in a daze. I appreciate everyones help and honestly all anyones done has told me what I already knew. Thanks for helping anyways though. |

| Libbie Orion 12.02.2013 | aside from your synth i dont see why all the sound wont be coming out of your computer anyway and then into your speakers. You want the synth included, go through the Traktor audio 10 or you can get just a channel mixer and plug everything into it THEN goto the monitor SIDE NOTE.... i really wish people would at least RTFM on audio because questions like this...... you should NEVER have to ask once you have all that gear "Hey Mr Bush... now that you are president, we want to make sure you DONT TOUCH THAT RED BUTTON" |
| Alphonso Deitchman 12.02.2013 | If you want to use your computer's onboard sound card you'll need a wire like this to connect your speakers. |
| Vickey Fransway 12.02.2013 | Really? What is the technical issue? How do you believe it should be setup? (hint: mixing board) |
