    Hi Folks,

    Im due to play a gig on sat nite and have recently got the virtual DJ programme on my laptop ive plenty of tunes but im not sure how to correctly connect it to a PA, can i go directly to a mixer which is hooked to an amp or what ? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    just plug into the line inputs on the mixer, better off with an external soundcard, less noise , also be aware that laptop power supplies can cause grounding problems, there is a fix using a 1:1 audio transformer but you wont get that before the weekend, if your laptop power supply runs off a figure 8 lead then no worries. the symbol below means double isolated which means dont have to worry about ground loops5.20b.gifbest of luck
