hooking up rmx with kp3

guys,

ive been hooking up my hercules rmx with korg kaoss pad 3.
the connection goes as follows:
1) rca out of rmx to rca in of kp3.
2) rca out of kp3 to my amplifier.

now, everything works fine, but i cant use my headphones effectively. if i plug my headphones to rmx - no sound. but when i plug it to kp3 it works then again, i cant cue nor mix.

when i use hercules rmx separately my headphone works perfectly.

so, is there a effective way of hooking up hercules rmx with kp3?? without affecting the performance of the headphones??

thanks in advance.  

Which software are you using the Rmx with ?

From what I understand, you would like to use the KP3 to modify/add FX to the output of the Rmx AND monitor the result, correct ?

Ideally, you would be using a mixer to which all your sources (Rmx, KP3 and potentially a CD player or tuynrtable) would be connected. IF you intend on using the Rmx as a mixer, then it really depends if the software your are using can use external source.   

hi,

i use virtual dj 5.2 for mac with my rmx. yes u r perfectly correct, i use kp3 to add effects to my mix. but, it's kinda sad when i couldn't mix n' cue with my headphones when connected to kp3. 

is there any settings i should alter?? 

You could technically send the output signal of the KP3 back in the Rmx, but that might lead into feedback problems, and would make you loose a deck, which is not something you want.

I think a cheap hardware solution could be a simple headphone mixer such as this:

Connect both the headphone output of both Rmx and KP3,  and have the control right at your fingertips.   

thanks a ton dj phatso. i'll try that out soon n' get back to you. 

and by the way, can i use 'iconnex' i/o (usb sound card) for that purpose? 

I don't really see how, and beside, even if you did, you would need some adapters to convert from headphone jack to RCA, etc.
