playing music "thru" controller soundcard Posted on: 12.12.2011 by Keely Popwell Hey guys, does anyone know if it is possible to play music (say directly from itunes) through the soundcard on a digital controller (such as the s4) onto the speakers connected to the controller without using traktor pro2 software?i bought a pair of krk's and am wishing that i could also utilize them with my desktop (right beside my controller set up which uses my laptop) basically i wanna be able to play music on my krk's from 2 sources (computer and laptop; where only one has traktor installed).. i cant just connect extra wires to the desktop cause the krks dont accept 3.5mm thanks | |

| Dj Tykarma 13.12.2011 | On my S4, I use the RCA inputs switched to LINE and THRU modes. And to have more inputs with level control, I use this small RCA hub : http://www.djranking s.com/community /sho...8&postcount=16 The same can be used to compensate the S4's lack of booth-out volume control when connected to one of the outputs BTW. UPDATE : There is definitely need for the DJTT team to to change the template of the community s so that links to single posts don't appear like if the colors where inverted... |
| Roselee Jasnoch 13.12.2011 | I set my mac to use my s4 as my main sound card. Just go into system preferences and click sound and it'll be in there. Simple. |
| Sarai Suchman 12.12.2011 | Yes you can Depending on the OS Windows/Mac on Windows right click on your speaker icon on the task tray right click and select playback devices...then click on master of the S4. Mac i dont know but there should be similar options on a mac. |
| Inez Marcinik 12.12.2011 | yes, you can also get a phono to 3.5mm cable and hook them up to the krks |
