Well i just got a numark stealth :sqerr: i was wondering if any one had advice on what i need so that i can hook up soome speakers and use my headphones. because i would like to hear the song on the deck b while deck a plays using a pc to dj.

Actually you'll need both since the controller you got does not have it's own sound card or headphone monitoring capability... see the following:

1. You'll either need a second sound card such as a Turtle Beach USB sound card or a sound card such as the Native Instraments DJ 2 which supports 2 channel outputs.

2. You will need a DJ mixer for example the Denon DN-X050 or really any mixer that supports multiple inputs and a cue function. Another example if you prefer a table top mixer (or battle style mixer) would be the Denon DN-X120. Both of these mixers allow you to take two different sources and input them into each channel and then allow you to cue your mix in your head phones and even provides for a mic input.

3. You will have to configure your software to put deck A to one sound card and deck B to the other separating the out puts and allowing you to use the mixer's cue and crossfader functions.

I hope this helps.
