Hi all,
Not strictly a question about home recording, but... my 2 housemates are having a joint birthday party at our house (rubik's cube party: you turn up wearing 6 different colours and have to swap items of clothing so that you end the night dressed all in one colour), and the closest thing we have to decent speakers are my KRK RP6G2s.
I'm wondering if there's some way I can rig it so I can play iTunes through them from my laptop. I figure I should be able to tweak the EQ in iTunes into some semblance of a party vibe.
The KRKs have ins for XLR, balanced TRS, and unbalanced RCA.
My laptop has 4 x USB 2.0 ports, VGA and HDMI (I have no idea what the latter two are for).
My audio interface (Lexicon Omega) has L & R line outs (how I connect my KRKs for monitoring), and has SPDIF In & Out.
Err... any ideas? Either if there's some cable I can buy to connect the monitors straight into the laptop, or if there's some way to get iTunes to play out of the audio interface? Only thing I know how to do with the interface is have it work through Cubase LE but perhaps there's some way to get iTunes to acknowledge the Lexicon drivers or... something...?
Any suggestions appreciated: you'll be make 2 sexy 22 year old gals very happy
Cheers,
Si
