Thank you. Do you know of a cheaper alternative? And I noticed one of the XLR cable inputs are white and the other is red. Does this mean anything?

Okay, and could you recommend an XLR to RCA cable? And about the speakers, are they good?

Looks like a good deal to me.

Will these speakers be enough?

I went to Guitar Center today and talked with some employees about the equipment I’ve been looking at, and they agreed that I should use a Numark Mixtrack Pro, which does have a sound card in it. Concerning the speakers they recommended this: http://www.guitarcenter.com/Mackie-SRM450v2-Active-Speaker–Black–105783864-i1512406.gc
I am a complete beginner with speakers and sound systems, so this may be a stupid question, but will a single one of these speakers be loud enough for a room that is about 50 feet long and 35 wide?

The second link you posted is exactly what I need, except it’s a bit expensive. I will see if I can pick out a good pair at Guitar Center, and if not I might have to go with those. Thanks for all your help!

Also, the link to the speakers is here: http://www.amazon.com/Seismic-Audio-Speakers-Monitors-Churches/dp/B001B850DM/ref=sr_1_24?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1340476448&sr=1-24&keywords=pyle+pro+active+speaker

Yes, the Mackie’s are a bit above my budget. When I’m searching for speakers the term PA comes up a lot. What does this mean? Right now I am looking at Seismic Audio 15″ PA DJ speakers. They are 700 Watts. Is this too powerful for the gig I’m doing? Also, my name is Eric, not Erica. The A is an initial. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks Martin! I have actually decided to purchase a Numark Mixtrack instead of the Hercules. As far as I understand it both the audio interface and the MIDI controller will both have a USB cable that will connect to my computer. Will I still need to do step 1 if I do step 2? I am having a hard time finding speakers. I think I will visit Guitar Center and see if I can pick one out. I will definitely use active speakers instead of passive ones with an amplifier. Could you recommend a specific speaker? Preferably not an extremely expensive one since I am on a budget.

Also, could you recommend a set of speakers? Preferably within the $100-200 range.

So would you recommend active speakers instead of passive ones with an amplifier? And also how do I know if I need the audio interface?
