My setup in a DM10 running thru a laptop running AD2 and I use an external SoundBlaster sound card.
No complaints, however,
When I play music I want to play along to I just cannot get that muic loud enough. I use 2 different sources, a CD player plugged into the soundblaster and/or a FIIO .wav player also plugged directly into the soundblaster. Both work using line in jack much better than mic input.
No complaints, however,
I cannot get the muic loud enough. I can crank everything up to 100% and it' just too short on volume to play my kit with at the same time, comes up pretty short on bass too, that's got to be an output power shortfall.
So, any advice on what setup I can use that can increase volume/power from my music source and to be able to play the kit with at the same time?
Would a 2 channel mixer work? Maybe a powered mixer (or are they all powered?) What do you use that you are happy with? Maybe a different approach?
I'm thinking the soundblaster in 1 channel and my music source into channel 2 input and I would use headphones for listening/playing output.
Thanks.
