New(bie) member here with a dire question for my setup.
d
I would like to have multiple audio input devices (up to 3--desktop computer, laptop computer, and wifi audio) as well as multiple output devices (also up to 3--studio monitors, headphones, and a television).
I enjoy sound but am not knowledgeable of the specifics/backend/hardware.. would it be possible for me to actually have 3 inputs and pick the one that I wish to be 'active' and pick the output device this active line streams to? Will my Komplete Audio 6 mixer be able to handle this or do I need some other type of switch box?
My thought is that all of the audio inputs may be running at once, but I will only want to listen single one of them and I will only want to listen to a single input from a single output device (either my monitors, my headphones, or my television) at that particular time.
A scenario example in case it helps:
I'm playing an audio file on my laptop computer and the source going through to my amp/headphones. Friend in the house texts me that he wants me to listen to the wifi audio he is streaming over the network, so I leave my laptop audio running and 'flip a switch' so that now in my headphones is the wifi audio stream. And oh wow, he picked a good song on the wifi audio.. so now I want to hear it on my monitors and 'flip another switch' so that the input from this wifi audi that was to my headphones is now coming through my monitors instead. I've now thoroughly enjoyed listening to his song and want to disable the wifi audio input and get back to my laptop input and want to swap the output back from my monitors to my headphones.
