Help routing headphone output thru midi controller + Traktor + Soundflower!
Posted on: 27.07.2012 by Joya Masi
So I just joined Mixify, really cool idea to broadcast DJ mixes live etc.

I've configured Soundflower as my audio out as sugggested on the website, and it's working fine. Problem is I can't use my headphones anymore. Any ways to work around this? I'd prefer to play live than pre-record a mix.

My setup is VCI 400, Traktor Pro 2.5, MacBook Pro running OSX 10.7 Lion, and of course Soundflower (2 channel).

Using the controller out to computer in method causes all sorts of clipping issues. Using the aggregate device method I was able to generate decent volume without feedback, though it wasn't fool-proof.

27.07.2012		Thanks for the prompt advice!

So how would I do that under audio/midi setup? Input VCI and output built in? Sorry, bit confusing..

29.07.2012		Seriously there is no easier way than to go to Walmart or Radio Shack or Best Buy or whatever you have and buy an RCA to mini jack cable and run it into your computer's input.

This is what it looks like
