Audio out to a Peavey XR 800F?

[D8TA]

I am wondering how I can take a sound clip from my PC, using the sound card and project it out to a Peavey XR 800F mixer and have the sound go out to speakers? I was thinking of using a mini stereo jack to RCA and plugging the RCA's to the tape in on the mixer? Does this sound like it would work? Has anyone done this, maybe not the same mixer, but projected your PC's audio through a mixer out to some better external speakers for others to listen to or hear?

the way you want to hook it up will work fine.

I would find a 1/8" stereo to 2 1/4" mono adapter cable and run it into a full-function mixer input, just to have more eq, level and routing control (although I'm not super familiar with the Peavey XR 800F).

If you're going to do a lot of this (going from the computer to standard audio gear) I would invest in a sound card that has more standard audio jacks, like RCA-style left and right ouputs. Usually they will also have nicer a/d convertors and some other tweaks that will make dealing with pc audio much easier.
