headphone help with mac os and discover DJ

[runthe9]

i have been trying to figure out what would be the best way to get my headphones to play the cue song threw the headphones only....i know its a setup issue but cant seem to find a good result or a suggestion for an external sound card or audio interface that would suite my needs....
i have both an i mac and mac book with same issues. i am routing my laptop through headphone jack to my ion i DJ ipod mixer with the discover DJ hooked to my laptop via usb sound quality is fine just cant separate the headphones ....

any suggestions would be welcome
this is my first post so please forgive me if formatted weird

i did everything it asked and did put my reg code in, i also rec the email saying i was all set????? i will try again ..

[runthe9]

ok i think it took, its all listed on my profile,
this is what i am trying now. i am using my ion idj with self powered speakers. i have my discover DJ into my mac book via usb, mac book plugged into idj from mac's headphone jack. it all sounds fine for home use and back yard parties, just have no control over the headphones, i am using the headphones in the idj headphone jack, i hear both decks playing and when i hit the headphone icon it sends the cue song out through the speakers....

if you check the fourm under help along with topics on ion discover DJ and audio set up it might help you a little ,not sure about the mac operating system but the main concern is if your audio card has more than one stero out put meaning multi channel not sure if your reg took but that issue will get sorted out (dont see a soft ware tag in your heading yet). The main plus with regersting your software is haveing the experience and expertise of knowelgable user to help you,most of the info is already there in the fourm,plus its a community

trying to get it all squared away. i edit my profile one minute its not there and then it is..... not really sure why. but it looks like little by little its sticking.. i am using mixvibes Cross le 1.0... after reading a little further i believe i am in the market for a decent audio interface. most likely one with more then two outputs... can anyone suggest a decent name

fianaly welcome to mixvibes fourm new it could happen,first to say give a little more info on your computer set up,type of sound card installed, what you Ultimate goal is, how much monie to spend, what you plan on using it for ,all thease things come into affect when trying to give you suggestion for different hardware and software my self set up my new (now old) comp with two sound cards installed to be able to monitor home , bought the top of the line sound blaster ,($200 ) wasted, but have adapated, lack of info leads to mistakes,

In the audio preferences there should be a possibility to set channels for master and cue. So your external soudncard should appear there and you should be able to assign channels.
