Huh? RCA -> line in on the zoom H2.

It works fabulously well.

Are there any cheaper alternatives to the Zoom? I just want something for recording purposes only that plugs in from the record out of the mixer. Does it record directl to mp3 format or wav?

That's about as cheap as it gets...

It can record both MP3 and WAV.

I use Audio Hijack Pro. I LOVE IT!!!!

This program saves in real time, so if your computer crashes, your recording won't be lost. It will be saved up until the crash! That's a big plus for me!

I used to used Sound Studio Pro and it's sick, but I like Audio Hijack Pro a lot better. I don't have to worry about saving the files as it does the auto save in real time.

Used ACID Pro 6 and ACID Music Studio from sony and they where decent. I also used Audacity.

I used Audacity to record very old cassette tape to pc of a recording of wedding anniversary when tape recorders first came out when my dad was a kid at his grandparents anniversary.

Audio Hijack Pro

Never had any issues with it. Tried Audacity for a while (I prefer Macintosh), but didn't care for the user interface. Bought Audio Hijack Pro and never looked back.

I want to know how you guys are recording your sets. I'll be outputting sound from a mixer.

I've tried using Ableton, but I'm finding it really frustrating and not user friendly. I was wondering if there's an easier way. Thanks.


if you dj with ableton live, you can just hit the record button
it records actual data rather than the raw outputs, so if you'd like to fix it up later (cheater!) you can.

i'm not sure how, but if you do add effects in the middle of the set, make sure by default it is off, otherwise when you replay the set, the effect will be enabled starting from the beginning (before you even added the effect into the set). I guess the only way is to go through each effect, disable it, and save the preset. So next time you add the effect, just drag in the preset and it'll be off by default.



OR if you want ableton live to record the raw sound, you can set up a track that is basically feeding all sounds into a master track (so it's sort of second to last in the chain), and basically hit record. but it does take some cpu power away so if you are doing effects heavy, i wouldn't recommend it.


pm me if you need help doing this
