ok, i have a mixer that has rca outs and ins, and what i did was send my outs from the mixer to the in behind the computer on the sound card. its a carcin pa mixer, and my soundcard is the one that came into the computer when i bought it, i think it is the soundblaster sound card. i can do recording, but the sound is kind of small, or thin...mainly the acoustics, but i dont have a condenser mic, and i think that will help that part out, because when i record acoustic tracks plugged straight into the mix, it doesnt sound natural, and its a little thin. im not sure even if i have my setup hooked up correct...i had to get a convertet that converted my rcas to a 1/8 in plugin to the back of the computer (is this bad, good, does it matter?) ive looked all in the forum and i cant find the answers to my questions. is my sound totally limited, because of my soundcard, or can i make due with what i have, and will a condenser mic really improve alot of the sound qualities on acoustics and vocals? i just want to know how i can get the biggest sound out of what i have, or not having to purchase all that much more stuff right at the moment.
