Managed to get my hands on a Mackie 1604-VLZ Pro. I have a few questions as ever expected I suppose. I want to use my stereos speakers as my monitors for now except they have the wire output and also a blue phono lead which plugs into the back of the stereo which separately controls the high range frequencies. Without using this blue lead only the low freq's get through.Therefore I have to use my stereo in order to use these speakers. I tried taking the main mix out into the aux on my stereo but was getting no sound when I spoke into the mic. I also tried using the tape out but had nothing again. Am I doing the right thing by using this setup??? Is there another way or anything I should check in order to make sure that the signal should get through??? cheers mates

And one mor thing. When I get the new soundcard what is the best way to monitor the mix coming back from the PC so that I can use the mixer as the volume control etc. Do I just use tape in and out puts?

yup - send L/R out from mixer to AUX IN on amp - switch amp to AUX and you should hear sound from mixer if channel is routed to master l/r out mix

thru is different - send mic channel to sub-bus out l/r and send that to IN on soundcard... send return from soundcard to mixer stereo channle or two channel panned l/r and rroute ONLY the pc-return to the mixer master l/r mix bus - dont route the mic IN channel to the main mixer l/r our or you'll get a loop
