[Helps] Laptop DJing and Audio Out stuff

Right so my iBook has only got one audio-out port so when
im diddling on Traktor I just been having one ear as monitor
and the other as master, but I might have to actually mix
live in a few months and besides the problems incorporated
with me not really knowing what im doing at all, I don't
know how I can play through some speakers and still have my
headphones on for non public noodling. What can I do?

I would reccomend a very cheap audio interface. You would
only need one multiple out capability since you want to DJ
with your laptop.

M-Audio has many different types to suit your budget.
If anyone knows of a cheaper option, help Dannn_ out.

USB soundcard will probably help a bunch. It is powered by
the USB port that its plugged into, so it keeps your only
audio-out port free for something else, oh and you'll have a
audio interface...

What do you mean by an audio interface?

An audio interface is an external "box" that plugs into a
firewire or usb port on your computer. This is essential an
external soundcard with a bunch of outputs. Click the link I
posted above. It shows you some

Thanks, I guess thats what I want although the M Audio ones
all seem more complicated than I'm likely to need, maybe
this

Yeah that looks good as long as you can route the headphone
out as a specific channel.
