Bryant, in my opinion theres no way to elliminate the cables, you have to hook up a cable from your laptop to the board, without it you won't have any sounds at all, if you get the pro12 you have to hook up a usb cable from your laptop to the usb port of the pro12 in order to get a sound , if i'm not mistaken the pro 12 came loaded with a tractor software..and i also i dont think you need to use the usb port of the board, you can just hook it up like youve been doing.mini to 1/4 to one of the boards channels.
