[LAU] USB Interface/Mixer

[Bob van der Poel]

Here's my setup which needs improving :)

1. Playing midi files in a laptop and routing the audio to a mixer, then 
to PA
2. Have 2 mics plugged into the mixer.

I'm thinking that using a USB audio device will make the audio (much?) 
better ... but I really need to haul yes-another-piece-of-gear around 
like I need more free gigs.

So, is there a usb device which will let me connect to the laptop for 
the midi output, let me plug in a couple of mics and route the entire 
mix to a PA? Or PCMCIA?

I'm not interested in spending a small fortune on all this. I've got 
decent enough gear here in the office/studio and if I get a paying gig I 
don't mind hauling. But, when we go to a seniors home or farmers market 
for an hour or so, the motivation lags.

Thanks.
