RE: small scale speaker management - future almost here but not quite?

Typically, outboard sound cards just sound a lot better. Add in the fact that most are tiny and can be velcro-ed to the inside of the rack, or wherever, and it's a practical solution. Plus you can have dual/multiple assignable outs - one for the headphone/cue and one for the main mix. The M-Audio cards are a terrific value.

Is he using a DJ controller? Most controllers have decent sound cards built in as well. USB into the device and away you go.

To start over would be fun. I do this:
PC/MAC + iPOD
Midi DJ Controller with sufficient inputs and effects.
dBX Driverack PA+ (and get a measurement mic - it auto calibrates very easily)
AMP 1 tops
AMP 2 subs (toroidal-style unit)
DMX controller

Pop it all in a new SKB molded rack with a pop up laptop tray and play panty-dropper records til last call.
