I don't use a mixer right now... I have a three tray jvc player and it has three mic jacks... I run my cordless and corded mics thru that into my amp... I dont know what I have to do to get the mics running with this new laptop? do you know? I sure appreciate your help....letitrip wrote:Well this is probably more of a question for the Hardware board but we can get to a simple answer here. I'm assuming with your current configuration your player and your microphones all plug into some form of mixer. That doesn't change when you switch to a laptop. Your laptop will simply replace the CDG Player portion of your rig, and plug into the mixer in much the same fashion. Your mic's sitll need to be pre-amp'ed so running them directly into the laptop wouldn't work. Even if you used an in-line pre-amp you'd still have to sum the signals from all your mics into one and then run it through your laptop's mic input which would result in a serious loss of sound quality.em_1975 wrote:I have cordless mics but I also have mics with cords how do I run the corded mics with my laptop setup?

Get a mixer. A small Behringer would be good, maybe an 6-8 channel would work well in your case. The mixer brings with it one very important thing for your microphones, Pre-Amps. Probably not needed with wireless mics (they usually have both line and mic level outputs) but definitely for wired mics you gotta have a pre-amp in the chain. The Mixer then also of course is what allows you to MIX your mic signals and the music signal into one stereo pair for yoru amplifier.
I personally use swift elite for the hosting program and find that they are easy to do both dj and kj work. They even have the capability of doing videos and using your logo on the background of the singer's screen. If you wish, I can give you some more info if you will pm me for my email. Here's wishing you great success in transforming to the new style
