Connecting Laptop To Mixer

ShaneFinneran

Hello, I have the Spirit folio fx8 mixer, and I was wondering what i need to get in order to connect my laptop to it (maybe what sort of lead/ adapter needed etc) my laptop is just a normal Lenovo and I have all my Dj software on it. Id like to know maybe if i should get a RCA to mini lead or if that would work? or what should I get. I want to be able to play music through my speakers for when I have a break at gigs. I would appricate if you write back with any suggestions. Shane..p.s I'm new to this stuff so any help at all would be great

3.5mm to RCA works perfectly fine

Bad news .Ok i got the cable http://www.tvtrade.ie/3.5mm-audio-jack-to-rca.html today. I hooked it up to the mixer...I could hear the songs but it was very low, no matter how high i put the gain up? Is there any solution to this? I tried EVERYTHING.....What a disappointment :L was really lookin forward to it ....please get back a.s.a.p.
