rca cable going from the mixer to your pc like this.


some sound cards dont have 2 rca inputs so just buy a rca cable that looks like this

Use the cables above and Audacity (It's free)

Yes, just make sure you have the quality set at a reasonable level or you'll keep crashing(Like I did )

If you have a shit PC/laptop like myself consider the Gemini I-key
You can get one cheap off Ebay and it does what its supposed to its just not the prettiest piece of equipment

it also doesn't have the best sound quality (from what i've heard).

if you want to record your mixes only at home i suggest getting a good sound card. if you want the record at gigs too, then i recommend getting something like the gemini, but maybe something better...

what would be a sound card with rca inputs that would make really good recordings that doesn't cost a fortune? also do they make comparable sound cards that are usb for laptops or are you really stuck using a desktop and getting a pci sound card?

There are tons of USB/Firewire sound cards available.

They tend to be about $200-300 for a decent one (multi-channel, headphone preamps, MIDI, etc.) but there are some cheapies as well. Check out M-Audio, Edirol, Presonus, Motu, etc.

If you want a really nice simple solution, check out the Samson Zoom H2. This is what I currently use. It's a flash based recorder, much nicer than the Gemini suggested above. It's portable (easy to use at gigs), doesn't require you to run any software (good if you're using your laptop for a DVS or other DJ app), has fantastic sound quality, and is under $200.

that's only in mono though right? because it uses either usb or a miniplug. if i used usb to a laptop then i'd have to physically use an rca-to-miniplug (stereo to mono) to connect it to the laptop

Wuh? That makes no sense

A 1/8" (or 1/4") jack can be either mono OR stereo. If it has 3 rings, it's stereo, they just share a common ground wire.

thanks for setting me straight, apparently my wire's just mono then. Good to know =)
