Use GR7Pro with laptop, Live, straight into House PA

HawaiianEye

GR7 is usually demonstrated on youtube as audio with video. Are they actually driving the sound through speakers or straight into a daw? Who knows! So, if you can, please explain how to connect a Laptop with GR pro 7 installed with Komplete audio 1 for guitar input, INTO a PA mixer for live performance. Basically Laptop into Stereo PA output. I have a 12 channel Soundcraft powered mixer, driving two passive PA speakers. I understand how to use 2 channels panned left/ right. It's just the proper connection

I have 2 cable interfaces: 1.) Stereo mini headphone male into two mono 1/4' male plugs. 2.) USB C into two mono 1/4" male plugs. Neither seems to be pushing signal from the laptop. It might be a setting within the laptop, I'm missing.

Some say I need DI boxes. Others say no need.

What say you, if you are experienced in this.

Mahalo from Maui!

The guitar goes into IN2 on the front of the KA1. Make sure you have the little switch set to Instr not Line. You need a stereo RCA to Jack to take the stereo signal from the the back of the KA1 into line level inputs on the Soundcraft. You don't need DI boxes unless you're running very long cables. On your laptop start up GR7 and make sure the audio device is set to the KA1, set the input to IN2 and the outputs to Out1/2.

Once you've done all that you should be good to go.
