sorry to ask but another bit of help needed...

Morning guy's,

I need a little bit of help and I wondered if someone could help.

At the moment I am running 2 x mackie thumps, 2 x subs all powered and I am using a berhinger mixer with a USB connection in the back.

I have a mixmark II controller and I want to use it via the mixer but I dont know how to do this...

Can anybody help?

Would I connect the USB connecter to the mixer from the controller?

Any help would be greatfully recieved.

Thanks in advance...

I'm struggling to identify the exact animals, but I have one question/suspicion. Presumably you connect this controller to a laptop? Or is it a CD/USB player?

It strikes me there are many options here, and I'm struggling to remember a recent post which touched on this. If you could identify the controller, that would help.

If it's this one, then it already has a soundcard in, so won't need to be plugged in to the mixer by USB. Just run the audio outputs from it into a mixer channel.

Apologies if I've misunderstood.

thats the controller, so im guessing its just a case of connecting the controller via RCA cables and then the controller to the laptop?

Yup. That's the ticket

Basically, yes. Use a line input on the Behringer, and set all the tone controls flat ( 12 o'clock ) You can then tweak the sound from the Numark. That's the way I do it. You can still adjust the ones on the Behringer if you wish, and if you feel it improves the sound, it's just that running a signal through two sets of controls isn't ideal.

You'll either need rca to Jack adaptors, or RCA to Jack cables. Neither are a kings ransom.
There is a preferable way, but it's tricky to explain with a keyboard. I have the same mixer without USB. Good luck.
