I’ve come to realize just how technologically inept I’ve become.

So I feel like what I want to do is simple
Enough and I thought I could easily just do it but apparently O’m not doing it right.

So currently I use an me-90 with my iPhone plugged into the aux I out and practice through headphones that way and use some backing tracks from my phone be it YouTube .wav or .mp3 files no issue.

I am thinking I want to change over to an Iridium. Only downside is the lack of an aux input which is kind of a big deal for me.

How can I mix the signals to a headphone out?

I figured I could just do it through audacity and playing the file I wanted as a backing track but I can only get audio after recording. Being stereo is important. Enlighten me please lol.
 
Assuming inread this correctly and you want to monitor via audacity/PC headphones out
If so:
Audacity > Edit > Preferences > Recording > [X] playthrough.
 
There’s for sure latency but it is allowing me to hear what I’m playing through the pc headphone out which is my goal.
 
Yep.
A to D and D to A. Making the round trip
Find your buffer setting and set it as low as possible.
 
For recording with real time monitoring, you want the buffer low without jitter or drop outs.
For mixing, turn as high as possible for best performance.
It may cripple your computer at the lowest settings.
Close any unneeded programs
 
Hmm. I don’t notice drop out so much as the latency is still there. Hmm. Thanks I’ll play around with stuff you’ve got me on the right track I think.
 
Is there a way to get playback without it recording. I feel like that may solve my buffer issue. It’s minor but it’s there.
