Hello, i need your help ! :)

I can not find how to connect my Mackie mixer VL-Z4 with my MPC 2500 and my M-audio speakers...

I have this snake cable
https://www.thomann.de/fr/the_sssnake_s ... klinke.htm

The sssnake is connected with the "assignable mix out" of my MPC 2500 to the "line in" of the Mackie.
The "Stereo out" of the MPC is connected to the "Main out" of the mixer
I have 2 more cables connected to the "control room" of the mixer to de L&R of the M-audio.

I can make out the sound of the MPC but I can not get my kick, snare, hat ... separately, why?

I try to see the manual and video but no answers for me :/

Thanks for your help and sorry for my english ! ;)

the assignable outs (8 of them right?) are where your kick / snare come from, and these each go to a line in on the mackie. you set up which sound comes out of which output in the mpc.

this is just wrong. the stereo out of the mpc should go to some other mixer channels, or if you use only the 8-outs, you can forget this altogether.

this is ok, but you could also use the mixer main out to your m-audio in.
