no why?

I think you would use send/return. After that you would plug a cable going out from your mixer into your pc (line in/mic) and then another cable would go from the out of your pc back into the mixer. How that is setup is all dependent on your mixer and laptop.

Invest in the M-Audio 410 External Soundcard, it will make your life much much easier if you're using an analog mixer, and also a midi controller would be nessecary, there are lots to choose from and essentially all do the exact same thing.

Check the 410 soundcard in Products/Recording Stuff

and also check out the midi controllers since they'll make using ableton a whoooooooole lot easier for someone who is new to the digitalism.

yeah i know i got the uc-33e
i need a new mixer which has send/return

thanks for help

no use ableton's send/return and route through one of your channels on your mixer

i know this sounds retarded, but can you use a mic line as a line in from my mixers record out to record a set?
