Yo.

I need some serious help with setting up my stuff. Right now like its real headache working, because I need to switch everything around if I wanna change sources. I would really like if I could do everything from the mixer which have several source selections and USB connection.

I'm not really good with sound tech and stuff, I was on my local musician shop, but I think they gave me wrong advises and I have lots of cables I don't think I even need. And I'm struggling to setup like I want it.

My gear:

MPC 5000
Denon x600
Technics sl1210
Fluid F5 studio speakers
PC Windows 10 with Audacity
2x XLR-jack to plug 6,3 mm
3x RCA cables


1: I need to receive audio from vinyl into the MPC though the mixer
2: I need to send and receive audio from PC into the MPC , first with USB and then RCA
3: I want to do 1 and 2 and have the mixer as master audio out.
4: I want to send MPC, vinyl and PC audio from mixer to speaker.


Problems I'm having right now:
I can't hear vinyl on the MPC though the mixer.
I can't hear PC audio from the mixer.



Is this possible? I have the mixer diver already installed on PC and setup for Windows OS on the mixer.
I just need to know what type of cables goes where to do point 1-4.

I will upload a picture of what I've have in mind here.

And another one for you so you can draw for me where the cables go if you don't mind.

Please help! Thanks!

A DJ mixer is similar, but not the same thing as a multi-track mixer.

I think what you want is probably a multi-track mixer that has at least two stereo aux sends to do what you want.

I got it working! Im so happy right now!

I hooked the PC into Channel 1 and Technics on Channel 2. Then I hooked the MPC into AUX 1 and the speakers to booth.

It's little scary tho, if I have the knob turned on the AUX 1 and turn on the knob on Channel 1, it gets a really loud feedback, which was hurting my ears. But I'm just happy it works.
