You need a mixer if your Tascom control surface has no audio monitor output. Check out a basic computer setup at www.tweakheadz.com.

just hook them to the tascams monitor out 1 and 2...
seems to be the only logical place in this setup.
and you don´t need a mixer!!! the tascam is a standalone 18in/2out mixer, an firewire audio and midi interface and a mackie control compatible daw control surface. this is the best interface compared to the projectmix or the digi002/003 if you do not need protools. it has 8xlr in/ surround outs!/ and four midi in and out!!!
only if you want to use a turntable with no built in preamp you need some small dj mixer for that.
have fun with it...

Well, you've been given advice as to how to hook up your monitors, you might need help with turning them on too.

Yeah I see your Tascam has audio I/Os which is why I said IF in the previous post check your manual and the Mackies have two inputs the 1/4 line inputs plus TRS inputs. Check your manuals first. Good luck.
