How to record from decks?

i dont know the layout of mixers/decks, equalizers and what have u , but i am trying to get a venue to record deep dish coming up in about 2 weeks.

Is there any way to record through USB mixer like the one by Numark called DXM 01 USB??

I have that mixer and I still have not figured out how to record from the decks other than using that POS Microsoft Recorder.

Iv got that mixer too! lmao.
Anyways its simple i use audobe audition to record, all you have to do is have the switches on the back of the mixer correct and in the prefences of the program your using select the usb device.
Also do you get a problem that whenever the input on the computer from the mixer is enabled their is a hum and you cant do anything, not even turning down the master volume changes it.

cool glad to see others use that mixer, any problems recording other than the hum? s3nate, is the sound clear when recorded, do you have to edit your mix like turn up the volume or anything??

The quality of the sound is pretty good because it stays %100 digital from the mixer to the computer so its not going from analog to digital to analog to digital just to get recorded. Although i have to say i dont realy like the curves of the faders though.

ah well, at least we have the biggest advantage of recording through USB

Chances are, the club where they will be spinning will either have a DJM-600, or a Xone92. So USB is not an option.

Plug from "Rec Out" or a second "Main Out" on the back of the mixer into "Line in" on a laptop would be the easiest
