My question is this. How would I monitor using it with Live. For example if I wanted to cue up a track without affecting the front of house, would this soundcard be able to do this. From what I have read, it does offer source switching but how would I go about setting this up in Live?

My thoughts are that I would have multiple tracks setup in Live with half sent to the first two mono outputs and the other half sent to the other two and whilst DJ'ing/Performing I would just go from one output to the other using the headphone source switch to change whats in my headphones.
Set up one pair as your master out, the other as your cue and then do the mixing all in Ableton.

Alternatively, use both outs as seperate channels on a Mixer and then you can go nuts with the crossfader.

You won't need to cue stuff up anyway - Ableton will beatmatch for you.
