OK here's the deal. I've got some Mackie monitors that I run balanced from a digital mixer, but sometimes I have to manually unplug them from the mixer and into my cheapie audio card in my computer. Not for any recording situations, but just to watch a movie or something with my nice speakers.

I need to build a simple device that will allow me to choose between two stereo inputs - one balanced from the mixer, one unbalanced from the computer - and send one of them to the balanced monitors.

OR if you know something like this for sale let me know, but I like the idea of building a little contraption.

Hook a brotha up!!
 
Aha, took me two looks to figure out why that was funny =D

Yeah, I think it's the obvious things that cause us more trouble than anything else.

Hahaha, once I spent like a month trying to figure out why I could only enable two out of the four inputs on my interface in my software... I reinstalled the drivers, did all that stuff.

Then realized that the I just needed to scroll down in the window, because it had been resized shorter!
