Hi ive just bought a numark total control and i also have a edirol fa-66 sound card basically i bought this item so i dont have to use my decks with the software but i have run in to a problem i think from reading the forums it is a common problem.
I would like to monitor the track thats not playing through my headphones ( like your mixing on the decks ) the numark total control has not got a headphone socket so i would like to use my soundcard to do this, the sound card has no routing software just an asio driver, but it does have a headphone input would i have to buy a splitter so i insert it in the output 3 and 4 on my soundcard ( output 1 & 2 being the master to my amp ) or can i use the headphone output on my soundcard? and if this is ok how would i select the left deck or right deck to be monitored through the software, please have a look at this link for front and rear pictures of the edirol sound card

You did not waste your money the TC is a great controller. I do not know that sound card, sorry to say, I am sure there is a way to preview your upcoming track. I see a firewire input, is there a USB input? I bet it is all just a matter of configuring your soundcard though.
