Sound Card (Traktor Software)

Hello,
I am a new MAC user. I am running XP and MAC on my MacBook. I am a non professional dj and I use the Traktor software (on the xp side). Can anyone tell me how to configure our sound card so that I can play one song from the head phone while listening another song from the Mac's built in speakers.

Thank you in advance.

Look, I run Traktor 3 on my mac mini (need to upgrade to Macbook core Duo). You should buy an external sound card or device because It wants to output the sound in different channels. Think of your computer as a mixer, Channel 1 would be headphones and channel 2 would be internal speaker.

Traktor is playing your channels like that. If you go to the settings of Traktor you can look at your output settings of the soundcard you are using (the computers internal). You can change it to both/all channels (traktor 3 supports up to 4 channels) to the headphone output. However if you are interested in MIXING songs you need to get an external soundcard (I use the scratchamp from Stanton final scratch, send the channels to my mixer, there are cheeper firewire mixers out there that will act as a soundcard device too) This way you can use headphones connected to the actual mixer to hear the song you are trying to bring in and make sure it's on beat.

I am a professional DJ

I hate when people put to songs together mixing them incorrectly.

Hey,
Thank you for your response. I am planning on buying a audio interface (M audito firewire 410). Do you think that should do the work. I also have a numark DM 1001X mixer, which connected to my 2 technics turn table. I tried to use my numark as an external sound card but no luck. I can not listen one song from the head phone while listening the other song from the speakers...
