Well just hook your Mixer or whatever up to your computer.... then get the program SoundForge to record it onto a wav format, then get an Mp3 encoder, and encode your set. Sorry man that's the best i can do for now, i don't have a system hooked up to my comp, but i can do it if I had one. Kinda lazy right now for explaining things fully.

Good suggestion but how do I hook up my computer to my mixer? What port would I plug the RCA cables into on my laptop, or is there another type of cord I need to use? I'd love to be able to do this - and burn a set onto a CD!

I heart my Gatecrasher!

you need a cord that is rca on one end and a stereo jack(like headphone)on the other. Plug that into ur soundcard. Now ur mixer is hooked up to your computer. Use soundforge or cool edit to record the set. Hope this helps.

I always wanted to do this myself. If that worked for you, how good is the sound quality?

Depending on your sound card, it should be pretty decent.

Just remember 2 things:
1) plug the stereo jack from the mixer into the line in of the sound card.
2) Be very careful with the sound levels that your mixer is sending out - you don't want to blow your sound card.

Make some noise!

Where can I get the program "sound forge" and and mp3 encoder? I'm really computer stupid so loads of help needed for me. ha ha ha. Thanks though!

make sure u have a audio input in your sound card if you dont have one forget about it..... have the sound goind into the computer make sure ur sound properties on record are set right ...just select Line-In to record... then use a recorder to record then save it as Wav then encode it with Mp3..... i use Mpeg Suite u can get for free on www.cnet.com go to downloads and type it in........ ohhh yeah make sure that the sound file u convert is Stereo cuz some burn utitlites wont exept mono file formats when u want to burn on audio in a cd...so make sure u know the little things too

thanx for the info. . how do u know if ur sound card has the audio input? and what are the names of the cables you need to connect the mixer to the computer. .
