Hello there! I recently purchased an XR18 mixer and was hoping for some advice with connecting an electronic drum kit. Basically, I'm interested in using an electronic drum kit for volume-controlled band practice. I have an Alesis Command electronic drum kit, which I can connect to my laptop via USB to trigger samples in Superior Drummer (a drum sample plugin). I'm trying to figure out the best way to go out of my laptop into the XR18.
In a perfect world, I'd be able to set this up so that each instrument was on its own channel, but I'd be happy enough just running a stereo output from my laptop to the mixer if need be.
Any pointers on setting this up ideally?
