Thanks for the reply.
The program I tend to use usually comes from the same era of mixing technique and -preferences, so the variations are either subtle, or intentional. I can however see how the ability to tweak the EQ between the tunes could be beneficial.
I'm young enough to have started with CD (which is still my preferred media for PA tuning by ear), but for conveniences sake I switched to mp3 when I bought my first player.

Just plug one end into your music player and the other end into one channel of your mixer and you get nice clean music, left-and-right channels combined, for your breaks.
This is not brain surgery guys. |
Part number for the passive mixer cable?
True, passive mixing is possible, but I haven't seen an affordable offering in ages.
Just tying the R&L together without balancing/buffering resistors just don't work very well, if at all with certain mixing techniques.
I'm amazed that someone would even offer such a hack-job with a good concience.
Fortnately a simple 2 resistor divider will produce satisfactory results.
And with a little bit of DIY spirit thrown in, the parts can be bought for less than $10.
