Ipad Djay Split Output

Dec 16, 2018 ok, I just tested the TRAKTOR Audio 2 MK2 with the Traktor DJ iPhone app and it's not possible to use the split output! If I try it with a split cable, it works (but mono). Furthermore I used a second TRAKTOR Audio 2 MK2, exchanged the device and/or changed the lightning cable - no difference. Audio is coming out of the headphone plug only.
Our reader’s letter today is from Gerald, who writes: “I have an Ion Discover DJ controller. I like it a lot. I used the tips I found about a DJ splitter cable (stereo – going out to two mono) but I am struggling with the software. I do not understand the routing nor how to set up the supplied MixVibes Cross LE software to allow me to use my splitter cables. I have a gig coming up and am trying to get all my gear set up. Can you help?”
Digital DJ Tips says:
All you need is a stereo/mono split cable, and djay will send the master output to the left channel and the cue output to the right channel (which is always the opposite turntable to the one audible through the master channel). Jul 21, 2016 Audio splitter cable can be used to play 2 separate songs at the same time from your ipad, iphone, android phones and laptop using DJ Apps, You don`t need to purchase any expensive mixers / Sound. Mar 09, 2014 This genuinely puts the left channel to one pseudo-stereo output and the right to the other. Having the kind of splitter cable sold to share a single headphones output on an iPod, for instance, won’t work because it sends the same thing down each of its outputs. Secondly, you need to tell your software that’s what you’re doing.
For those of you just starting out with very cheap DJ gear, or an iPad, iPhone or even Android DJ program, you may be having great fun with your DJ program or basic controller, but wondering how the hell you get your headphones and your speakers plugged in and working independently. This ability to “cue” (to listen “secretly” to the other music source, the one that’s not playing) is fundamental to DJing, and cheap laptop controllers and all iOS/Android software doesn’t have it built-in.
Algoriddim launched djay Pro for iPad today, the latest version of their award-winning DJ software for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The new version (which I played around with over the past couple of days) has been built with the iPad Pro in mind, with tons of design changes and new features for the new platform.

If you’ve dug a bit deeper, you may have found out – like Gerald – that a DJ splitter cable can be your saviour. This semi-legendary “hack” works by splitting the stereo signal into two independent mono signals, one for each of your required outputs. Sure, you’re now playing in mono – as you plug your speakers into one of these outputs, and your headphones into the other – but it’s a little-known fact that most “real” club sound systems are in mono anyway, and it’s a very small price to pay to be able to DJ with the gear in front of you in exactly the same way all DJs do.

Firstly, you need a DJ splitter cable (the one we recommend is here). This genuinely puts the left channel to one pseudo-stereo output and the right to the other. Having the kind of splitter cable sold to share a single headphones output on an iPod, for instance, won’t work because it sends the same thing down each of its outputs.
Secondly, you need to tell your software that’s what you’re doing. You have to find the audio output, audio routing or audio configuration settings and look for “mono split”, “split mono” or “DJ splitter” setting – the one that shows all audio going through the single PC/iOS headphones output and also shows both the speakers and headphones plugging into this. In your case, Gerald, MixVibes has a page here that tells you exactly how to do it.
And don’t forget, you have to plug the speakers and headphones into the correct sockets on your cable! If things aren’t behaving how you feel they should (eg the “cue” buttons are turning the main audio on or off, or the crossfader is affecting your headphones) try swapping the headphones and speakers over at the cable.
One final thing that sometimes confuses people about all of this is a question that goes something like: “But I’ve got four decks and a sampler, don’t I need five outputs, not two?” The reason the answer to this is “no” is that even if you had 99 decks (and Virtual DJ 7 can, folks!), the mixer section of your software mixes all of these inputs into just two – one for your headphones,a dn one for the speakers – so however complex your software audio is, you only ever need two outputs – and if you can’t afford, or simply don’t currently have, a pro DJ audio interface (or a controller with one built in), an audio splitter cable is a great way to get going, or a sensible backup to have too. I’ve had one kicking around in my gig bag for 10 years.

When I first brought the Djay app on my iPhone I was thrilled to be able to have that kind of technology and capability at my fingertips for such a small price. However because I didn’t really know how to mix, I found it incredible hard to distinguish the 2 tracks when trying to beat match. it was fine for playing around with, but I could not pre cue the track I want to bring in, or try to at least. This meant that as it was, this could be like a real setup and hence wouldn’t allow me to progress to fully understand the concept of mixing.
I was reading some of the reviews of the app and noticed a comment which directed me to a DJ hardware page. There I found a split output cable, and also a guide explaining how the iPad would split the audio output, and send a mono signal from deck 1 down channel 1 and another mono signal from deck 2 down channel 2. Awesome.
This means I’m able to connect my headphones to channel 1, and a set of speakers to channel 2. Once the split output was activated via the app, two little round icons with headphones appear either side of the turntables, depending on which icon you selected it played the track that you want to pre cue down the headphones. Now we’re getting somewhere!

I had a few old female headphone sockets and a 3.5mm jack, so i thought why not get the soldering iron out and see if i can make one, the above image was my first attempt and it worked great,
Finally I have a the means in which I can learn to mix. It gave me the opportunity to be able to learn to mix as if I had turntables without the expense or worry of damaging any equipment.
However it did have its drawbacks… because the audio is only outputted via 1 source, when you adjust the volume of the master volume it also adjusts the headphone volume. meaning if you wanted to play on loudspeakers you would need a very good set of headphones. So I decide to build my own split output, but this time with a difference…

I decided to house this splitter into a little aluminium box i had kicking around from a previous project. I wanted to put a volume control on the pre cue channel so i could adjust it independently, this turned out great, it allowed me to mix late into the night turning down the volume to suit, (as not to wake the neighbours!!)
