if you use a splitter you are essentially splitting one stereo audio signal from your laptop in two mono signal.Speakers (left), headphones (right) or vice versa. There is no such thing as a 'dj splitter' the splitter for an ipod or alike is exactily the same. All that is needed for this to work is dj software which supports separated mono outputs!

[DigitalDJTips]

@DJUndutchable There is. Firstly, there is a difference between a STEREO splitter cable and a DJ splitter cable. Many of our readers accidentally buy a stereo splitter and think it'll work for DJing, which it won't, as these just split one stereo signal into two identical signals. The difference between a MONO splitter and a DJ splitter is a DJ splitter takes the two mono signals and feeds each into a LEFT and a RIGHT output to power both speakers/phones (still in mono though).

along with sound cloud i would recomend Bandcamp, it has alot of artist who give away their music for free, very cheap, and some of them are actually very renound

man ur talking so true. it's not about how easy nowadays to sync music with dj softwares but about many other skills and experience

[DigitalDJTips]

@TheXavierNogueira No, if you have sound issues the splitter won't help as it doesn't change how Traktor uses your sound card.
