Hello. I am kinda new to keyboard and will have a live performance in a couple of months. My setup is a roland go keys keyboard that controls cantabile on a laptop. The headphone out of the laptop is used to send the audio to the mixing. I was unable to hear myself a few times. How can I double the audio output so I can hear myself with earphones at the same time?
Thank you in advance
Welcome to the forum!
There are several ways to do that. Since you are using the audio out jack, you could use a splitter, and run the 2nd line to a headphone amp (usually around $50.00 U.S.) Or, you can use the mixer’s outputs (if there are multiple outputs) to run to a headphone amp, similar to a monitor mix. There are many other ways, but this would be the easiest and less expensive.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Corky
If you have a recent laptop it might have a USB C port. I found that the little USB C to 3.5mm headphone input dongles that come with some phones work with Windows 10. If you happen to have both try routing the audio for headphones out that.
