Larry, the head phone output works well with either application you've suggested although I've never seen an amp and P A used at the same time. Your P A doesn't have a monitor?

I also have a Dell laptop. Because the stock sound card in the computer it is not the top of the line quality. I simply attached a Soundblaster external unit, about $75.00, (via USB)to the computer. The Soundblaster unit has audio out and can easily be linked to an amp to P.A. I also have attached a 300GB external hard drive to my computer to store all my music endeavors. I hope you have the BIAB new version with "real drums". It's awesome! Have fun.

Thanks for the input guys, I may have to look at a sound Blaster,is there a Brand ? Yes I have real drums, and love it. I,m thinking about Karoke Plus as a Gig. Do you think that Band in a Box is Quality enough, or would you use Karoke disc or files for music?maybe both.

BIAB can create a playlist, but I would convert a BIAB to a Wav or MP3 file and then create a playlist. The upside with BIAB is you can change tempo and key on the fly. With a Wav or MP3 file you're stuck with whatever you converted. There are some programs/applications out there that are programmed specifically for live performances. Check the 'Net.
