Are you trying to control the mixer with the laptop or to get the laptop audio into the mixer (or both)? What distances from laptop to mixer are involved and are there any intervening walls, rooms, conduit, ductwork, etc. or is it direct line of sight??Any way for wireless connection between laptop and mixing board? like bluetooth maybe?
I thought if nothing else I could just use a wireless intsrument rig.....any other ideas?
Take the audio from a computer at the console, and control that computer from the laptop.
All in fun but the typos are just too ironic and I have to ask that if the audio is without chords and chordless then will anyone want to hear it regardless of whether it is wired or wireless?All I want to do is put the audio from the laptop into the mixer without chords. At most the distance would be about 25ft but in general probably less. Its all open without interference accept the quick and clumsy movement of children of all ages......hence the need for chordless
I follow the logic of the belt pack transmitter idea but I'm not where I can try that anytime soon. Has anyone tried/verified this idea to work?
Any specific products or associated links? Something like Rocketfish seems to be around $130 for a transmitter and receiver pair and appears to get mixed reviews in terms of sound quality, as well as having a range that may be pushed in many venues.Going back to the original question, and assuming the limitation of sending Audio from the laptop to the mixer and nothing else, the cheapest and easiest way is to use one of the cheapie AV senders designed for sending signal from your cable/satellite box to other TVs round the house. They can be picked up for under £10 and work pretty well. We sometimes use them from a mixer aux mix out to remote parts of a venue where background music etc. is needed and it would be a pain to route cables. Amp with Speakers at the far end and receiver plugged direct into the Amp, sender from the Aux pair.

But how will he power it? A battery pack I guess. Things are getting messy now.
Control of the music computer by another computer or iPad would be the best approach IMHO. If you don't have an iPad, get one. There are several apps that I find to be very useful when doing this soundy stuff.
The best way to buy a used iPad is to go on Craigslist and post a Want to Buy ad. State the kind you want, and that you will only buy locally in person. I got a reply the next day, made an offer, and the next day got a mint iPad2 16GB Wi-Fi with a Griffin Defender case (the one I wanted) for $300.
there is a cable made for this, with a resistive network to safely combine the L + R channels (instead of shorting them together). It is called the Kenny Kable, or iKenny kable. http://www.rothsound.com/ikenny-kable-3-5mm-to-ta4f-shure-bodypack-transmitters-p-508Any way for wireless connection between laptop and mixing board? like bluetooth maybe?

I just posted and forgot to state that it is for use with a wireless beltpack transmitter. Currently made for Shure or Audio-Technica transmitters, more brands by request.Any way for wireless connection between laptop and mixing board? like bluetooth maybe?
