    Canny good this. Lets you get around the need to buy an external soundcard to use traktor (or whatever) with.

    You use your laptop headphone out as your 'master' out (to your speakers or whatever) and then use this 1$ usb soundcard as your cueing/headphone soundcard.

    Obviously this means you need to control transport and internal mixer functions with a controller, but its a nice stopgap in case you dont want to shell out for a pricey soundcard.

    Since i might play in a bar once every twelve months, i'm starting to wonder if a 1$ soundcard might be more suited to me! :)

    It does make you wonder why we even bother with pricey soundcards in the first place - who gives a stuff what your cue/headphone channel quality is like eh.

    Get in! Glad the link was of some help eh.

    Maybe i should ditch my Audio Kontrol 1 for 150+ quid, and just get one of those - route my main output to my headphone socket and job is a very good one.
