Hi everyone,
We have a small band that consists of a singer, 2 guitars, bass, and drums. Everything is connected to an older MAckie CR1604-VLZ board that I inherited a year ago. We have two mics on the drums, two vocal mics, etc. Everything sounds great when we are practicing, but we would like to record some of the sessions to further critique the performance.
The Mackie board doesn't have any digital connections such as USB, and the manual in fact shows how to connect the board to a cassette recorder or reel to reel. I would like to connect the mixer to my PC somehow so I can use Audacity or some other software to record ourselves.
How would I go about doing that? Can I use an RCA to USB adapter or do I need firewire? THe board only has RCA outputs, so somehow I need to connect that to my computer.
As you can see, I don't know a lot about home recording, so this may not even be possible with the Mackie board.
Thanks for any help!!
