Nah, computer speakers are not so hot with bass and sub bass frequencies.

Try to get some real studio monitors, they go cheap nowadays and some include an internal amp, which are called active monitors, and some don't, which are called passive monitors and they require an amp to bump them.

It's possible.

You can hear the mpc and the microkorg at the same time going through the mixer and your speakers.


BUT...


Your mixer and your speakers (like Ill Green said) aren't really made for this purpose.
What you have now is a dj mixer, and you might want to change it up for another type of mixingboard, especially if you are thinking about expanding your set-up in the near future.

Just like the speakers, they do make noise, but you're still missing out on things.
