Hi, I would like to connect the iOS and laptop version to a mixer so I have backup using the iPad as primary, any suggestions on how to hook up the laptop so they run simultaneously?

Hi @Carla_Spence, personally, I usually just route my backup device to a free channel input on the mixer via a direct cable connection. With your Windows laptop, this would likely be via a headphone to RCA cable. You won’t have the ability to pre-cue on your laptop, but typically you will only need to play 1-2 songs on the backup device before you can troubleshoot and correct your main system. I hope that helps!
