I think you would use send/return. After that you would plug a cable going out from your mixer into your pc (line in/mic) and then another cable would go from the out of your pc back into the mixer. How that is setup is all dependent on your mixer and laptop.

Invest in the M-Audio 410 External Soundcard, it will make your life much much easier if you're using an analog mixer, and also a midi controller would be nessecary, there are lots to choose from and essentially all do the exact same thing.

www.m-audio.com

Check the 410 soundcard in Products/Recording Stuff

and also check out the midi controllers since they'll make using ableton a whoooooooole lot easier for someone who is new to the digitalism.
