Sound to Light - Help!

Hi!
I have been recently been teaching myself to use freestyler as my business partner and I (who run a mobile disco company) are making the move to DMX controled by Freestyler. I have been very impressed with the software overall and think I know it well but when I use sound to light, which I have to use with just a microphone sat next to my speaker, there is a delay between when the microphone recieves the signal and freestyler S2L processes it (it is about a 1 second delay). I am having to use the microphone method because I don't have a line input. Do I need an exterior sound card? Or is it something else simple?

Please Help!
Thanks,
Jamie Ransom

i'd say unless it was a noticable delay then its probably just the time it takes to get that signal and send it throught the circuits to process it... it would be better having an input do you not have an input on your laptop/pc most do? then you can feed straight out of the mixer...
