Hi all,<br>I&#39;m getting ready to start playing shows with a band that will mix live instrumentation with material from a laptop (primarily using Live, and ChucK at some point I hope).  I&#39;ve never done this before and I&#39;m not sure of the best way to connect a laptop to a typical rock club&#39;s mixer/PA.  I&#39;ve found a small number of answers on the web that range from a simple cable between the laptop&#39;s headphone jack and RCA inputs on the mixer, to a firewire audio interface and a stereo DI box.  Audio quality and hum from AC power are mentioned as reasons to go with more advanced solutions.  I don&#39;t want to spend money and carry around these devices unnecessarily, but I&#39;d also hate to be unprepared or inflict bad sound on the audience.  There must be a lot of experience with this on this list, so what do you think?<br>
<br>Apologies for the arguably off-topic post, but I wasn&#39;t sure where else to turn.  I&#39;ll try to redeem myself with something more directly ChucK-related in the future.<br>Thanks,<br>-Jay<br>
