Well I usually just run the dj mixer with the turntables and laptop hooked to that. Takes 3 channels, I need a extra soundcard to plug in so I can get monitor and get the split second latency gone so I can just run everything thru the laptop. My laptop is almost speedy enough alone that I can run the turntables thru it without much delay.

Desktop Computer (IknowIknow) On A Chair, FL7, B-Control Rotary For Editz And Shitz, Mic, Mouse And B-Control On Top Of Desktop Tower (Pretty Much My Whole Setup Fits Onto A Chair), At The Botom Of The Seat Is My Amp Which Runs Into To Two Large Speakers I Built (About 5 Featz), And Where Is The Mouse And Keyboard You Ask? Keyboard I Set Under The Chair Because There Is No Room And I Usually Encourage Everyone To Stand Around Me So Under The Chair Is The Only Place Where People Won't Step On It, As For My Mouse....WALL MOUSING! Seriously.

But I Don't Play Cool Clubz Like Everyone Else....I Play Basements With Loser Crust Punk Anarchists That Love Getting Drunk And Computer Nerds That Come To See Me But End Up Leaving Early Because I Was The Only Act With A Computer.

I use my laptop with Live 7 and I trigger 2 long sample of my track (drum, sample and vocal, bass) in the same time with my MPD 32 and I play with crossfader and many effect (like Instajungle, Glitch, many filter and delay) for make totaly crazy break hehehe.
Its a realy live electronic way of play but its very long and hard to prepare !

BUT I LOVE IT !!!!

i fuck a laptop with reaktor, hooked up to a Remote 25 controller. I use a yamaha MW10 mixer with a kaos pad3 as a send effect and a circuit bent crucifix which i sing into. If i can find space/ can be arsed, i also bring a electribe ES1 and other circuit bent gizmos.

can you hook those circuit bent stuff to your laptop (if yes, how?)? i once tried circuit bending and i found it hard to control the sounds. seemed more like random noises. but it was fun anyway. :)
