Recording mixes on computer...

[docdoom]

Never done it before is it just a matter of linking output from mixer into computer somewhere i guess? I have a laptop and it doesnt seem to have much besides the mic and headphones inputs.

Cheers

You need to connect your mixer to the line in of your computer and record via something like Soundforge or if you want something free you could try Audacity.

yea my laptops the same...

what i do is plug the output of the mixer to the mic jack in the lapptop. (you need one of those cables with red n white audio plugs one end and headphone/mic jack other end)

recording using soundforge through the mic sockets surprisingly good quality (mono tho)... then you can touch up the mix in soundforge using the normaliser n wave hammer etc if u acidently drop a tune bit too quiet lol

if your using the mic in try see if you can turn the mic boost off in you laptops mixer panel, this basicly makes it a line in instead of a mic which should sound a million times better

Make sure that you have one of the outputs from your mixer go to your stereo, or what ever you're listening to. Once, I had the mixer going to the computer, and then the computer to the stereo, and there was a wierd delay that made it imposible to mix b/c the sound coming out of the stereo was later than what was coming out of the headphones. Good luck.

I had that "delay" happen to me before, but I fixed it by playing around with the wiring a bit. Any ideas exactly why it's doing that? I can't seem to figure this out yet.
