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 loopsbest of luck

Not that there's anything wrong with Quiggers reply but This forum will probably be able to help you more.
