Do you run from a USB into a midi interface and then into the PA? Direct headphone jack out? How do you guys run your sound out when you play live?

What's your set up like? Since you're asking this on the "DJ Booth" am I correct to assume you're using a DJ Mixer?

I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong place lol. I'm new to this forum. Anyway, I'm running ableton live suite 8.2.2 with an akai acp 40 and an akai mpk25 with a korg nanKontrol mixer. I also have a Tascam us-800 midi interface that I use on my computer for recording. I've never played live and I've got a set that I'm ready to take to public so I was just wonder the best way to run in to a pa. Thanks!

as you mentioned midi to audio jack. Most consistent setup i've come across.

You may need to get a MIDI to XLR adapter.

Wait... I thought Midi only sends out data not actual audio. Unless I'm missing something, he needs to connect the LINE OUT of his sound card to the LINE IN of the DJ Mixer/Soundboard at his gig.

How many outs does your sound card have? Cueing might be an issue, unless off course you do it all on the software. TBH, I don't like cueing that way. But it's all down to personal preference.

I have a FireWire 410 and a Pioneer DJM 800 Mixer. I routed the outs of my FW410 like this. Outputs 1 and 2 to the line inputs of channel 1 of my mixer. Out 3&4 to channel 2, out 5&6 to channel 3 and out 7&8 to channel 4. I set them up in pairs because I wanted Stereo output. Doing it this way allowed me to still use the DJ Mixer to cue each track individually and to use the mixers built in effects. There's other ways of doing it, but that was how I liked it.

Left and Right out of your mixer to the sound system. Easiest path. Unless you're planning on sending separate feeds to the system which then depends on how many inputs to the system you would need.

multiple output soundcard to a mixer (like 8-10 channel or something) then mixers master xlr to amps/monitors. then you could separate the sounds from your music a bit more and adjust them analogly on the mixer with eqs and levels, or you could use two computers and a sampler/drummahcine with midi sync. maybe even add some aux efex like reverb/delay. it would be hell to set up every weekend.
