Topic: Computer Audio out To Mixer
r.steadyPRO SubscriberMember since 2021
I updated my computer to a laptop which does NOT have a separate soundcard. What is the best sound that I can get from the laptop and how do you connect it to the mixer. I know one can use the headphone jack but there has to be something better (USB out)??? How do the pro's do it?
Thanks
Ed

The pros use a professional usb sound interface

Just search Amazon

Are you only mixing with-in your laptop or do you have a controller?

Also Reloop Flux is a very good solution for DJs

I do very large UFC events and play music for ring girl and in between rounds. I was lugging around a full computer tower(which had a decent sound card in it) and want to cut back. I guess I am looking for a usb mixer with at least 2 mic inputs for announcer (main/backup) and a XLR R/L out.

You might want to consider a small controller, they generally have very good sound cards in them and it's always nice to be able to play music with tactile buttons instead of a mouse and keyboard. But I agree with the above posters, the Focusrite Scarletts are pretty much the standard for audio folks as long as you don't need to deal with high resolution audio.
