Alright, I'm having a little trouble recording my mixes into Audacity. I have the two RCA cables plugged into my mixer(I've tried both master and booth outputs) and the other side of the cable into the line-in on my PC. With the master output I got a very very faint and distorted sound coming through Audacity when the track was being played, no sound through booth. Now that I'm trying again today I'm not getting any sound. I'm pretty sure I set up the preferences properly in Audacity, any suggestions?
Edit: Just tried it again, the bass is extremely loud and distorted, as for the rest of the song it's very quiet and distorted.

Are you sure that you plugged the cables in the LINE-IN connector in the computer. I have noticed that if the cables are connected to a MIC connector, the sound is very loud and distorted. The MIC connector is red coloured in the soundcard.
I hope you dont have some integrated soundcard, they are really bad in quality..
What mixer you are using?

I don't have an external soundcard so I'm using the one built into my PC, the mixer is a Behringer DJX700.
Yes, I'm sure it's not plugged into the mic input. Although I have a blue and green input at the back as well as the red one(mic), does it matter which one of those I plug it into, I'm pretty sure I've tried both with no luck.
Edit: Now when I hear the sound coming through it sounds like its skipping? Stuck on the same beat...

Blue is LINE-IN.
Green is output.
The skipping indicates problems with your cd-players.

How does it indicate problems with my CD players if they work just fine while I'm not recording?
It's only the playback that I've recorded that skips.

Oh.. my bad.
I thought you play cd's in this case.
It must be some software issue then and bad soundcard drivers.
So the mp3 playback isn't functioning normally?

That's correct.
Everything is plugged in correctly, I've reinstalled Audacity, but when I record a sample, it comes back all choppy and distorted and sounds like the beat is skipping.
The music from my CDJs is directly playing through my computer speakers just fine, I've searched up on google and other forums and haven't found any solutions to this problem yet, let alone found anyone else with this problem...
Edit: Just tried recording through windows sound recorder, it comes out fine. (Obviously not the greatest quality).
Finally after 2 days of playing around with everything I've fixed my problem, no need to reply anymore.

You had messed up the sample rate settings in Audacity, right?
