If you are going to use an adaptor to defeat the ground for your laptop power supply I would set it up so that only the laptop is ungrounded. Since the laptop case is all plastic there probably not much danger there, however if your mixer and/or other metal encased equipment that might be plugged into the strip develops a ground fault without a way to shunt that power to ground and trip the breaker, you may become the new path to ground
