You guys arent getting what I said.

I meant to use *a second small mixer* between headphone out and the line in of the PA's mixer.

But instead of viewing at as a mixer here, it would be functioning as a Line Amplifier to boost the signal that the main PA mixer is fed.

Not unorthodox at all, really, I do that quite often to obtain some extra inputs on the PA's mixer when needed, just press my home recording mixer into service jacked into one of the stereo line inputs of the main board and use it as well as the channels on the board. I have indeed done this to boost the laptop headphone signal into the main PA, too.

Mac,

I do have a stand-alone recorder but I am trying to avoid taking another gadget on gigs. So with that said I am into remixing my entire songbook. If I get tired of this process I will go to a small mixer I can build into my rack or an external soundcard.

It's just that this new laptop does not have the volume drive of the previous 3 old trucksters. Heck I even spoke with Lenovo tech and they told me in no uncertain terms that the new lappys (not only theirs but all of them) just don't push the volume of the older ones.

I have two gigs this week after the 1st tune on the 1st gig I'll know if the re-mixing is working or if I have to go to plan B.

Thanks for the advise and suggestions from you and the others who have offered input on this post, I sincerely appreciate the time and thought in my behalf.

Later,

Danny C.
