No issues with the soundcraft and I am connecting 1/8 from laptop to RCA into soundcraft. Then 1/4 inch to Powered Mackie Thumps. Mixing to stero.

I set up at home about two three times a year but the fact is I have so many songs in my playlist I can never give all of the them time required to master eash one.

Your mention of BBE is new to me.

Thanks for the nice comment re my tracks, as stated above my setup is pretty simple I am connecting 1/8 from laptop (with the soundcard that came with it) to RCA into soundcraft, nothing inbetween. Then 1/4 inch to Powered Mackie Thumps. Mixing to stero.

Even on the rare occission I record a sample tune for potential clients I record from my laptop via the 1/8 jack to my Roland BR 1180. Record the BIAB file, than add a track for my guitar, one for my vocal and sometime another track for backup vocals/harmonies.

Later,
