Hosa CMP-159 3.5 mm TRS to Dual 1/4" TS Stereo Breakout Cable, 10 Feet

You know when you take a call or check a voicemail with headphones in, and it plays through the headphones instead of the phone speaker? Or when you play music through an aux cable, it goes to the cable instead of the speaker?

The phone will send the audio out to the cable whether it's headphones or an aux cable. You should plug in a cable like this into the phone with the audio, then plug each cable into 1 channel of an audio interface. Record to 1 stereo track (with 2 inputs). https://www.amazon.com/Hosa-CMP-159-Stereo-Breakout-Cable/dp/B005HGM1D6

It won’t catch fire. The speakers won’t do your FocusRite justice, but it’ll work.

Didn't you say yeah the 3.5 mm audio out jack somewhere? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005HGM1D6

I have been doing this more recently since downloading the splice mobile app.

It's a pretty simple setup just using a 3.5mm to 1/4 stereo cable, here is the one that I use https://www.amazon.com/Hosa-CMP-159-Stereo-Breakout-Cable/dp/B005HGM1D6/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3GGNRXHFL9L17&keywords=hosa+3.5mm+to+1%2F4&qid=1583433653&sprefix=hosa+%2Caps%2C149&sr=8-3

You'd run the 3.5mm side from you phone and the 1/4 inch side to the right and left input of the Digitakt. If you have a newer iPhone you will also need to use the lighting headphone adapter.

That will not work. u/robots914 is wrong. You need an 1/8" stereo to dual 1/4" mono cable like this one:

Hosa CMP-159 3.5 mm TRS to Dual 1/4" TS Stereo Breakout Cable, 10 Feet https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005HGM1D6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_LiijEb0AXMNNF

This will separate the stereo signal into two mono signals for each speaker.

1/8" to dual TS 1/4"

Actually, I think with that set up you need this type of cable. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005HGM1D6/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_98McEbM86RG0Z It looks like your module is stereo out and the amp has mono in if you use a TRS on the left and stereo if you use the cable I suggested.

The MG10XU is absolutely perfect for karaoke, even in a professional set up. It's what I personally use.

Those XLR cables are good. Buy a couple extras for when one inevitably craps out.

I use these to connect my MG10XU and MG06X to aux ports: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005HGM1D6?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share - they are multi-purpose and I can even plug them into the microphone/XLR ports if I ever need to, like at my bar show (my computer is actually "microphones 1 and 2" on their mixer using these, whereas the real microphones that singers use go to 3/4/5/6)

Yup you just need the right adapter/cable: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005HGM1D6

They are powered so currently just plugged directly into the tv with hosa 3.5mm adapter

Yeah the speakers are active and have 6.35mm line out for which I bought a stereo connector for that combines the two 6.35 male into a single 3.5mm male to plug into my desktop.

This is the cable I use to connect the speakers to my desktop: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005HGM1D6?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I will try an extension cord and try it on the line out on my desktop.

I really appreciate the advice!

I record with a minijack cable (both side male) - and one end has a 1/4 adapter on it.

I also tried an Y-Splitter and added two 1/4 adapter to to both ends. The results were always the same.

Researched phase cancelation and this could be it.

Will try one of these at the weekend.

Lots of recommendations here and they’re all good.

However I’d argue that the Volca Sample is great if you want more sounds and less drum machine.

But if you want a more in depth, rhythmic drum machine, please get the Volca Beats.

I have a suspicion that the Beats gets looked over because people don’t understand how powerful the stutter feature is. You can record stutter per part. This is where your swing is, also. Put a closed hat on each beat. Hold function and twist the time knob for tempo subdivisions. Use that to find 1:1 and then use your ear and you’ll find anything you want, record it, and then record yourself bringing depth up and down. Repeat this process with the snare to get ghost snares, rolls, and fills. People say the snare is weak and terrible and I mostly disagree. Crank snappy and decay and pitch it a little under halfway. It’s fine. Layer it with the clap if you need to, which you can record stutter to as well, along with its pitch.

Then turn on global stutter. All your motion recording will stay saved. Turn depth all the way up and twist the time knob up and bring it back down to zero quickly for quick glitches. You can also keep the time knob at zero to add a slapback delay like quality to the drums or use it around halfway to give it a muted feel.

Once you combine all of that with solo-ing instruments, the ability to instantly load new patterns without stopping, etc, you can get a lot out of it that I’ve never seen anyone here praise.

However if all you want is simple rhythmic backup with a diverse range of drum sounds + some extra, go for the sample.

Personally, as a drum machine, I MUCH prefer the Beats and still use it every day, even after getting a Roland TR-8. I’ve seen people use the Sample to great lengths, though.

As far as the other Volca goes, I would suggest the Keys if you want to start wrapping your head around synthesis, or the FM if you simply want presets. I’ve had both and much prefer the FM but it’s a pain to edit. Possible and fine if you’re patient and really care, but otherwise tedious and.... not exactly fun.

The Keys makes a great bass. Especially with the flux mode. You can just set it to the longest sequence length and play anything you want into it. Also great for leads, for the same reason. And it’s simple and laid out well enough to grasp what everything does quickly and will prime you for an upgrade if you feel like doing so, while still being able to hold its own as a lead or bass.

The FM is wonderful though and it’s the one I really miss and plan on getting another very soon.

You’ll need these cables:

Right.

So for the speakers you just need the speakers themselves and a 3.5mm to 6.3mm TRS cable like this: https://www.amazon.com/Hosa-CMP-159-Stereo-Breakout-Cable/dp/B005HGM1D6/ref=sr_1_4

The sub is JBL LSR 310S. When you add it you would move the existing TRS cable to the sub and buy 2 XLR cables for the speaker connections. Note your computer won't know a sub is connected but you will have direct control of the sub volume on the sub itself.

I got a pair of JBL 305p mii speakers. With this cable.

1.When I plug them into the rear port and front port of my MOBO with the cable mentioned above, they make a static noise.

2.When I plug them into my phone with the same cable they do not make that sound.

3.When I plug them into my pc with a different cable than the one mentioned above they do not make that sound.

I do not have the I/o shield. I don't know if that could be it. I'm at a loss here does anyone have an idea?

You probably want something like this cable

It splits the TRS dual mono signal from the bass into 2 identical mono signals over 1/4” TS. Just plug in either of the 1/4” ends into your pedal and leave the other unused (or plug it somewhere else if you’re feeling spicy)

You should NOT have 2 sources connected to your monitors at the same time without being managed by another device. The monitor manual should have that stated explcity somewhere.

3.5mm breakout cable to 2 1/4" ts into the 404hd's 1/4" inserts https://www.amazon.com/Hosa-CMP-159-Stereo-Breakout-Cable/dp/B005HGM1D6

The 404hd should be able to manage the routing (switching)

Yes. You will need a breakout cable. The 3.5mm headphone jack is a TRRS. Tip is left channel, 1st ring is right channel, 2nd ring is ground, sleeve is the microphone input if your headset has a mic.

This breakout cable should be all you need if it's long enough. The 1/4-inch ends should be what you need for the TRRS inputs on the speakers.

I recently purchase these speakers and these accessories to run the speakers on my PC. When the speakers are "on" but there is no music playing there is a very annoying low-volume buzz. When I am playing games sometimes the buzz is there, sometimes the buzz isn't - really depends on the game and pitch of the buzz changes depending on what games I'm playing.

It's been so aggravating that I've gone back to headphones which is disappointing. I've read that having a DAC can help with buzzing. What would I need to buy in order to get rid of the low frequency buzzing?

This cable as per the buy thread stickied at the top of this sub. Since this posting is in the wrong place that's why you are being downvoted.

As an aside, if the Rogers had preamp out jacks you could use it to route source material to these speakers with a RCA to TRS cabling. But that Rogers model doesn't seem to have preamp out jacks so it is useless for this situation.

https://www.amazon.com/Hosa-CMP-159-Stereo-Breakout-Cable/dp/B005HGM1D6/ref=sr_1_2?crid=QSNB1BYGA0SK&dchild=1&keywords=3.5mm+to+1%2F4+stereo&qid=1594139045&s=musical-instruments&sprefix=3.5mm+to+%2Cmi%2C126&sr=1-2

Line out into speakers.

I'm not sure what kind of inputs those speakers have but if you got a cable like this one it would work. Again, not sure what kind of inputs the thing has, if it's 1/8 inch inputs you'd need something like this with two 1/8inch unbalanced cables going from the split end to the speakers.

Bluetooth is a no go the OP-1 doesn't have blue tooth.

Honestly if you don't already have an audio interface and monitor speakers that's a better investment then consumer listening speakers. I have serious doubts about those speakers quality.

I'd say the problem is in the wiring.

Get a cable like this instead.

My personal setup with my 305s is this tiny dac hooked up through optical from my pc, running this cable straight to the speakers. I get 0 grounding noise, but I still get the amp hiss since there's no real way to get rid of that without gutting the speakers and getting a different amp setup.

If you want to go the bare minimum route, you could connect the sub to the PC with THIS CABLE. But really, it would be better to use a USB audio interface LIKE THIS. And then yes, connect from sub to monitors.

>using a 3.5 to 6.3 TRS cable

Contrary to the other post, they DO accept unbalanced connections, (as almost 99.999999% of pro audio does). Its part of the design.

That being said, this is not the problem.

The problem most likely is your choice of adapter. There are stereo TRS splitters for things like headphones from a phone, and there are TRS splitters for getting two mono signals (left and right) from a stereo source. You probably have the wrong one which will sum one of the channels to the ground and whack it out of phase.

I'm unsure of your intent, however - you should be running your PC and phone into your DJ mixer and control the levels that way.

BUT - If you're intending on plugging your phone direct to your JBLs, your search term would be:

"3.5mm to dual 1/4" TS male"

"3.5mm to dual 6.3mm TS male"

• https://www.amazon.com/Hosa-CMP-159-Stereo-Breakout-Cable/dp/B005HGM1D6/

You'll want something long enough and without a collar on the wire so you can split apart the left and right and wires and run one side to each speaker.

The best way to set this up is to have a pre-amp (or mixer) in between your source (phone) and amp (monitors) to control signal. Not just straight wires going to it from a phone.

So keep your XLR cables going from the Pioneer system to your JBLs (balanced), and use a simple 3.5mm to dual RCA set of cables from your source (PC or phone) to the analog RCA inputs on the Pioneer mixer.

"3.5mm TRS to dual RCA"

• https://www.amazon.com/PB-S3R06-Dual-Stereo-Breakout-Cable/dp/B017Y40OJ6/

I highly recommend Pig Hog brand, except when you need to pull the wires far apart to reach left and right because they have collars on the wire that prevent splitting.

There are any number of active speakers that would work with your LG UltraGear 27" monitor. Amazon has hundreds of them. But we don't know what "expensive" means to you? $10? $100? $300? And we don't know what "big" means, either? And we don't know where you are (what is available to you? USA? Amazon? etc.)

I have a pair of JBL LSR-305 speakers connected to the headphone jack on my Vizio 19" monitor/TV. It works perfectly and I couldn't ask for a better solution.

So the Focusrite Scarlett Solo is mono only, and the Volca Drum is stereo. However, it is kind of a complicated stereo - most of the sounds the Drum makes are mono, but then they are mixed together for a stereo output right at the end (adding in various stereo effects). So if you just want to use the Drum to make basic drum sounds and beats, there's no problem with recording it through the Solo. But if you want to use some of the more advanced effects (such as pan), then you won't be able to use the Solo for that.

This thread has a very good description of stereo on the Volca Drum:

https://www.reddit.com/r/volcas/comments/bfo223/pan_effect_on_volca_drum_causing_extreme_volume/

So my recommendation is to use a cable like this one:

Hosa CMP-159 3.5 mm TRS to Dual 1/4" TS Stereo Breakout Cable

10 feet is probably way too long, look for one that is 3 or 6 ft if you can find it. Hosa is a pretty budget brand, there are better quality cables out there if you care about that. The search terms 'TRS to TS breakout' should be useful. I found that cable by searching: 1/8" TRS to 1/4" TS breakout

Here's why I recommend the above cable (or one similar to it):

For now, you can plug either the L (Black) or R (Red) side of the 1/4" TS cable into the Solo, and leave the other side unplugged. You'll then be recording mono into Ableton. Again, you won't be able to use the stereo effects on the Drum, but at least you can get some clean sound out of it.

In the future, you'll probably want to upgrade your audio interface to one that can accept stereo. Once you do that, you'll still be able to use this same cable, but now you'll be able to plug in both ends and get the full stereo goodness from the Volca Drum.
