Problems with computer mixing

Ok, I just bought a Sound Blaster 16 PCI and Sony Acid 4.0 mixing software. I have my headphones plugged into my new sound card with my regular speakers plugged into my old sound card. Now I want to be able to PREVIEW my tracks through my headphones while having the track that's being RECORDED going through my speakers. How do I do this?

Ur question doesnt seem to make sense.
Acid is not for live mixing.

lol thats what u get for just following the advertisements
first u do a research and find exactly what u want to do and what tools qill help u to do it and then u buy them but acid dj is for making music or mixing a cd if u want to mix life u get a traktor dj or some other program and 4 channel soundcard that supports asio(i think)or even better get a set of turntables thats what im about to do cuz computer mixing sux it doesnt feel right

acids not a waste of money though...you will always have it to master your cds and demos at the very least.

maybe you should've done your homework first.
