Thanks for the very helpful video! My speakers don't have 6.3mm jack input, and my audio interface (Scarlett) only has 6.3mm jack output. But my speakers have RCA input, so now I have to find somewhere to buy the correct cables. Hopefully I don't have to order online, or I will have to wait for several days before I can use them!

Hello , please help me . I can’t hear the cue in my mix . I have a audio interface connect to two studio monitors that go straight into the laptop and a ddj 400 that is connect directly to the laptop. Do I have to do a different connection to be able to hear the cue in rekordbox dj ? I hear the sound coming from the audio interface and I can mix with the controller is just that if I use the build in aux port from the controller I hear no sound in headphones, but if I use the built in aux from the audio interface I hear the master sound constantly and can’t choose which track to listen to.

Hi I already have some Logitech speakers attached to my computer to play Mp3s through. I just bought a Focusrite Solo audio interface so that I can record my guitar. It looks like I now have to buy some powered speakers. This is quite expensive for me at the moment. Is there a good budget option just for a small bedroom for speakers. If I buy some powered speakers for my guitar, can I then use them to play my music mp3s through, so that I don''t have to have so many speakers in my room?

This is a very good video. And thanks for sharing the info about the differences between TS cable and TRS cable. Before watching this video.. I don't really give a serious thought about it. Frankly I just started about having my own home studio. And I do have this one problem like the one you mentioned in this video and that is about the buzzing sound or unwanted electronic signal or noise. I realised that one of my monitor speaker was connected to my audio interface with TS or unbalance cable. Why I did that? At the time when I was setting up my home studio, I was short of one TRS cable. So I just grabbed one of my guitar cable which is a TS cable and used it to connect the monitor speaker. I did this bcoz I just cannot wait any longer to record my first song. So when I started to record my first song, it was like HELL..!! While I was recording, I kept on hearing some unwanted sound or noise and as a result there were few glitch trough out the song that I was recording. So I have to stop and restart for many times bcoz of this and it took many hours for me to record for one song. I'm taking your advice seriously and I'm getting the TRS cable by tomorrow ASAP. Thanks Bro.

Great, clear explanation for cabled connections but I was hoping you'd go more in depth on the wave xlr. What if I want headphones AND speakers? If my speakers have usb, I'm assuming I connect them to the pc and I can map them to the 3rd toggle on the wave xlr? So I would have mic, headphones and speakers all controllable via the dial? I'm interested in doing it this way so I can use the wave xlr dial to control my speakers while video editing but if I was to receive a call, I could tap the capacitive mute button on the wave xlr and then put my headphones on. Is that possible? I know people have assigned usb mics to the mic channel on the wave xlr so I'm assuming USB speakers could be assigned?
