Originally posted by _Nut_ Woot! Simplicity to the rescue. I used to do that when I recorded my old mixes. Makes sure you can get a sample it before they go live. Get them to 0dbz it out on the mixer and make sure your mic line in is reading just below peak. That way you are getting in all of the signal you can get without worrying about distortion (assuming when the DJ's mix they dont go too far into the red).

I learned some of that the hard way. I borrowed a friends laptop and recording hardware this past weekend. The DJ whom I recorded the set for got wasted and kept BLASTING; Redline almost the whole time on the DJM3000 ROFL.

Originally posted by RJT Alright, well if you're happy with that - I'm glad you found something, but if you want any other recommendations for audio devices, I'll gladly help (was away getting dinner and packing to move when you posted this). Under $100 wouldn't be easy though, so I'd say just stick with the line in on your laptop for now. And remember, never record anything without permission - one of the biggest locals in Chicago got banned from the biggest club in the city for a year for recording an Armin set. Not saying you'd have the same kind of problems, but it doesn't hurt to ask

I would be more than glad to take your recommendations as well.

And no, I'm not recording anything like that without permission; just sets from DJs I play with from FLTA including myself.

Using this line in I will be recording this Friday night in Miami, again on Labor Day @ Blue in Miami Beach and again on SURVIVAL NIGHT.

I was just excited about it because it isnt too often that you get the set of a venue you were at in Chicago. Come to think of it, that was the night of one of the first CTA meetups and the brief meeting by armin. Oh how I loved the looks on the faces of people at the pizza place when we were greeting him and taking pictures with him. Everyone (besides the TA's) were wondering who in the F this guy was.

yeah that was a pretty memorable night for me as well. i didn't make it to the meetup though because i had just joined TA and was too shy to show up by myself.

Well, give me a general idea of a maximum price and I'll see what I can sort out.

$150-$200 tops

Probably going to run between $130-$160, basic, versatile, works every time.

Highly recommended. I own one.

Damn, that looks bad as fuck! And the price is just right! Thx man!

DA, just a word of advice. try installing the program before bitching and moaning "no vista support". vista has an insanely good "compatibility" layer built into it that works wonders. i remember when i had vista on this laptop in rc1 stage (beta pre-release but feature additions are frozen. so its all bug fixes) and even though there were lots of incompatibilities i saw the progress in the compatibility layer. it works very well now.

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraul, consider the Alesis USB mixing board.

$150 and has several channels (8 total, 6 simultaneous if i remember right) and often comes bundled with Cubase LE which should handle your recording needs.

The MAudio interface is a decent piece as well. Ultimately it depends on how many inputs you need now or in the future. The size is also an issue, but the Alesis mixer fits nicely inside a lightweight plastic case and isnt too bulky or heavy. Both devices should be avaliable at your local sam ash or similar; ask for their opinions, then buy online to save a bundle


(approx 10"x10")

Man, that looks cool as fuck. It says it only works on XP/XP Pro though? It would most likely require specific Vista drivers, yes?

not technically. you can use xp drivers but its not recommended at all. vista drivers are preferred for obvious reasons.

Yeah, that's what I figured. I won't be touching Vista AT LEAST until SP1 comes out for it.

why? the reason that vista drivers are preferred is because they have changed the sound driver system a ton. so if you use an xp driver it wont run as well since its in a sort of compatibility mode. they have made it to where sound wont crash the whole computer if you have a vista driver. if you use an xp driver its not supposed to crash the system but i know for a fact that theres a good possibility if thats what causes the system to hang. then again i never used final either. i was only on RC1 and RC2. my buddy uses vista full time and he hasnt reinstalled in a while. something he did about once a month with all other windows versions.
