Your RCA output from your soundcard fits into one end and the RCA output out of the GLI fits into your mixer, that's it! Hum gone, computer data screech gone! I've used...

Bear in mind I live in the North East of the UK, so, popular tunes may be a bit different. By no means a comprehensive list, this is most of my "Key" folder for the 90s. I've got Dance, Rave, Party, Indie, Heavy and Other folders. If you want a list of those you'll have to pay my airfare t...
