I don't know if anyone can help, but i am having problems hooking up my dj mixer to my computer and getting it to record. I have tried two methods:
1. I hooked up the output of the mixer using the rca adapter to the mic input on the sound card. Then i used Diamond Cut's cd recording software. But the sound that comes in is way too loud and distorted. I have tried to lower the input level on my computer, but there is still an annoying buzzing noise. I have talked to several other dj's who have done this before and they said to use the line port.
2. When i plug the adapter from the mixer to the line port, the music goes through my computer and can be heard on my computer speakers, but the software doesn't record it. The quality of the music is great coming through the speakers. I tried to change the settings on my sound card (Aureal Vortex AU8830), but i can't get the software to pick up the signal. I tried using the cool edit 2000 demo software, but that doesn't work either.
Do I have any other options other than getting a new sound card?....this one works great for games, and i'd hate to get rid of it. I don't need a digital input since my mixer is analog, right now i would like the cheapest alternative to get this to work. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
