Here's the deal.
1) I record analog and mix to dat
2) I have no daw and am pretty much ignorant of this new world
Here is my goal.
Upload to soundcloud, drop box etc. final dat mixes.
In the past i have used audacity to get stuff on my old computer using a line input. it had separate line and mic inputs
At this point I have a 5 year old laptop running windows 7 with only a mic input.
Here are the questions.
a) would that work well? (analog dat out to mic in) Sounds like extra conversion BS. digital to analog then into the computer converted to digital again
Or
b) should I get an inexpensive usb 2 channel interface to get the stuff on to the computer
Or
c) Since my mixes are on dat (digital) is it possible to get a cable to transfer it to the computer seeing how the analog to digital conversion has already been done?
