My live lappy is setup like this:

vocal mike into TC Helicon voiceworks, s/pdif out to s/pdif in on Audiobox 1818 VSL, electric guitar in to my Fender mustang III amp, with phones out to channels 7 and 8 on audio box, acoustic guitar to channel 6 on Audio box, USB out to laptop.

vocals, and acoustic guitar processed through VSL software mixer (compression, limiting, noise gate, reverb, delay options)VSL has Presonus Fat channel strip available on all inputs, with live processing at zero latency.

Ele Guitar processed through, same VSL, and then the patches are from Mustang Fuse software in the amp, 100 preset patches, plus the fuse software has a community link for a gazzillion more, and then a foot switch to run thru them all.

The audiobox VSL is freaking amazing in it's capability to give a great sound with no latency. The built in effects are very nice, Plus the TC Helicon has effects as well.

Real band handles the patch changes in the Voiceworks by midi channel 13, so i get my harmonies and effects changes seemlessly.
