Hi,
I am new to this forum and have just upgraded to a DP32 from a DP008EX. It's a big step up and I'm currently running through Phil's tutorials (big thank you, Phil) to try and get up to speed. I am loving it so far.
Being a newbie, I need a bit of advice about output and monitoring. Also I'm not very technical but trying to learn. I currently use the RCA outputs to my Mackie active monitors, which also have TRS balanced option. I have also added a leptop to my setup as I am trying out EZ Drummer2 which is a standalone VST. My laptop speakers are rubbish so I need to route it through an audio interface to get a better full sound. Can I route the DP32 through the interface just for sound so that the laptop and the DP32 sound can come out together through the speakers. The speakers only allow one set of inputs at any one time.
That way I can work on the drum track while listening to the DP32 tracks. Will this work or will something blow up??
I will import the drum track as a .wav into the audio depot once it is finished. I'm not looking to record it directly from the laptop to the DP as I don't think that is possible.
Any help would be appreciated as I don't want to buy the wrong thing or damage anything. I was looking at the Tascam US 1x2.
