Hi,
Maybe I am missing something obvious but I am struggling with the headphone cueing.
I am using an M Track 2x2m sound card for my MacBook and when travelling I use rekordbox internally in performance mode.
How do I stop the master output coming through the headphone out on the sound card so I can cue tracks, They are currently blended making it very difficult to hear/mix.
Is there a compatibility issue with the M-Audio product and rekordbox?
@dustitutes > Well, here's the problem... that soundcard only has one pair of stereo outputs, but in order to send a master output AND a headphone output, you need TWO stereo pairs (4 outs).
You can disable the headphones output in the preferences:

Ahh ok, I presumed (wrongly) that a headphone output would be independent. I thought my old Mbox used to work like that.
Is there a work around for my situation?
I guess playing in mono would be one and using 1 output for the master and the other for the phones?
Or is it possible to route the headphone feed to the headphone socket of the mac then use the sound card for the master?
Any help appreciated.
Maybe explain more your desired output configuration and I can recommend something?
I require a pretty essential mixing/DJ requirement I would have thought. When playing from the laptop internally (no controller) or just with a 2in 2out sound card how can i audition the next track through headphones without hearing the master or at least being able to split the master across headphones left and right.)
Maybe its just not possible but I am fairly sure that I have done with many other types of software in the past.
My suggestion would actually be to use the internal speakers as the headphone output cueing, and the M-Track as your master output. Here's how you'd configure something like that...
Open the Audio MIDI Setup app, open the Audio Devices window. Click the + down at the bottom left and create an Aggregate Device, checking the box to the left of the M-Trax first, then the box to the left of the Built-in Output. Give it a name like "M-Trax Aggregate" and then open rekordbox.
Within the rekordbox preferences, select the M-Trax Aggregate as your audio device, then set the Master Output for outputs 1&2, then the headphone for 3&4.
That's awesome. I knew there would be a way. Sorted and thank you :)
Got it working?
