Gear required for live performances (Gameboy)

You're plugging it into a mono amp or using a mono convertor jack. Thats why you're not hearing panning commands. Get a 1/8 to RCA cord and plug it into a mixer.

EDIT: Spelling.

It depends! If you have panning notes (and I'm assuming you do due to your first post) they will still be converted to mono if you have an RCA to jack adapter (i.e. your notes won't disappear but they won't pan because your signal is mono). Your best bet is to either use an RCA mixer or use 2 channels on the mixer (or 1 stereo channel, which is what I do).

if you want to maintain your stereo signal you need to make sure every step of your signal chain is stereo. this includes using a a stereo DI box (or just two mono i guess). while you could convert to rca, i really don't see any reason to unless you want to use multiple adapters (each of which adds a little noise) or the tape input on your console.

i would recommend a cable like this: http://www.amazon.com/Hosa-CMP153-Cable … B000068O3C

it's pretty inexpensive, and if you have your own submix just send each of those to separate channels like vegas said, or just use a stereo DI, and send it straight to the house console. a stereo DI might be something to invest in, but any venue that is serious will likely have one on hand. that being said, i would strongly reconsider how worthwhile you feel hard pans are in a live environment.

i think there's a discussion about it somewhere in this thread: http://chipmusic.org/forums/topic/12403 … eo-issues/

good luck dude!
