[petejt]

This is the place to talk about effects to affect how we make music. But....How do you listen to music? Please only pick your top 1 or 2 in each category. So set teh bong aside, turn on some tunes, sit back and tell me yer {censored}:

'kay....................



Primary Source: laptop

Primary Output: cans

But yet sometimes I hook up my mixing desk to the laptop, then plug the can headphones into the 'Control Room' output of the mixing desk. Or run the Mix output to a pair of 12" PA speakers.

If Your Primary Output is stereo receiver: just jack into my headphones

Yep, unfortunately that's the only way I can connect the mixing desk to the laptop
I need a new Firewire card.

In order of frequency for each:

SOURCE
Computer
Vinyl
iPod

OUTPUT
Cheap powered peakers (2 way for mid-highs and a sub).
Receiver and old stereo speakers
Sennheiser HD280 closed headphones

When I'm using the Ipod and stereo, it's just through the headphone jack for now. Someday, once I've fixed my turntable and either fixed or replaced my receiver, I'll get a line out for the ipod.
