RE: [DTXpress] Got A Mixer...

I haven't looked at the schematic for your mixer, but if it has a tape out
then you only have to connect that to a line in on your PC, mix the drums
with the MP3's through the software mixer and throw them out onto the
Cambridge (which are already hooked up I presume).
My setup is the other way around: the computers line out goes to one of the
line inputs of the mixer, just like the drumset. The output of the mixer
goes to an amplifier with speakers connected to it.
Any sound coming from the mixer is also looped back to the computer to
record the mix. Watch out for loops when you do this (be carefull with any
'mix tape to mix' buttons).

Good luck and have fun

Erik
