You need a program that will enable you to record through the Line Input of your extrenal soundcard.

Adobe Edition, Sony Soundforge, Steinberg Wavelab, etc can all get this done. If you don't havean audio editing software, you can download Audacity for free.

K so in Audacity, how do you specify to record from the mixer? Pardon my amateur questions since I have only begun experimenting.

upper right corner of audacity select LINE-IN and your all set!

Although above post gave the solution, it doesn't hurt to explore around a program... dig through the menus, look at various options and dialogs available to you.

A lot of the stuff I can do today is because I poked around to see what a certain piece of software could do, and to figure things out for myself.

Of course, it's completely acceptable to ask for help. =) I just think that one should make an attempt to figure things out, rather than immediately asking for help. It's more of a mentality thing.

(Please note that I'm not implying that you didn't try to figure it out; the above was just a general observation.)

If you have NERO BURNING ROM installed on your machine, then you've already got a pretty sweet audio editor installed.

If you don't want to shell out for something like sound forge, this is perfect. It's not something I'd want to use as my main sample editor, but it does the trick.

Did I download the wrong version? I'm trying to get this set up to record a mix from my cdj's - djm 600 connected to my echo indigo soundcard on my laptop. Having trouble figuring out how to configure this to work. I don't see a LINE-IN button anywhere at all. Thanks

I guess the pro is that you can download it for free on the audacity website. How much was cool edit pro? If I can't get this audacity configured I might have to look elsewhere. I can't see any way to set up audacity with the echo indigo dj soundcard that I have with my laptop. I don't see a LINE IN option anywhere.

I used Audacity!

And it SUCKS! There is crackling noise every 10 seconds, and everytime i touch any effect. Anyone know what could be the problem?

your master could be too high on teh output , or your soundcard input levels are too high also make sure youre connecting thru Line-In not microphone, the microphone plug is not made for the volume and/or frequencies you get from playing music it all becomes distorted out the ass.. do other recording programs cause cracking too?
