Get a stereo RCA to 1/8" cable, plug one end into the tape out on your mixer, plug the other end into the line input on the laptop. Grab a copy of Audacity (free!) or pay for SoundForge ($$$) and get to work.
I've been recording my sets that way forever. -----Original Message----- From: Jeffrey Richards [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 11, 2008 7:48 AM To: 313 Subject: (313) Recording DJ sets I have a shiny new Dell laptop (err...notebook) just sitting around my house. I want to try and record some of my ramblings on the wheels of steel, and was wondering exactly what it is I need to do it? So here is a list of questions... Do I need any special software? Is there any decent software that is free? Do I hook it up to the mic in (there is no line in) or do I need to get a RCA to USB connector, or any special equipment? Should I hook up to line out or booth out? Anything else I should be asking about?? Tell me what it is... Thanks Jeff __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
