Hm, dunno, all I had to do was to plug the cables in and hit record.

Check the audio settings of your OS (Win XP, I assume) and see if the line in is enabled or not.

You need a recording program. Soundforge is one you could try (it's the one that's comming off the top of my head) You also need to setup your soundcard to record from a specific port. You may have to do this in the Sony Mixer (if there is one, I have never bought a Sony and I have no idea if they have their own mixer software) so, what you can do is
Start > Programs > Accesories > Enterainment > Volume Control
click options, then tick recording
select Aux or Auxiliary. This will make your computer "listen" on the Aux ports, which are those red/white ports. If you don't see an Aux or anything related to that, you may have to add them;

Volume Control
click options
look around in "Show the following volume controls"

Then just fire up Soundforge and start recording.

I tried it and it didn't work. How would I know if the computer can hear the sound coming out of my mixer? I don't think that my computer volume mixer has an AUX channel.

I'd say just get an RCA to headphone jack adapter and plug it in to your line-in in the back of your soundcard.

That would work too. Why do that when you already have the ports available to you?

I believe if you set it up correctly, you can hear it comming out of your computer's speakers.

switching to record in the properties (VERY IMPORTANT)


settings: (I'v selected Aux = RCA ports on my Audigy Front Panel)

ok, I'll try that tomorrow.

Anyway, I aquired a demo copy of soundforge hoping that I can get it to work using it. But I tried messing around with it for awhile and still can't seem to get it to hear the audio....I'm, not sure how to select the front RCA inputs through sound forge...
