hi,
lately ive been trying to find the right way to transfer mixes from my 488ii to my computer. i need to turn each mix into an mp3 file so i can burn them onto a cd with my computer's burner. i connected the line outs of my recorder with the line in on my computer, and it works fine. the sound comes out in stereo through my comp speaker. my problem, however, is i dont know how to record this signal with my computer. the sound recorder built into windows doesnt pick anything up, and neither do the trial versions of programs like Cool Edit 2000 that i dl'ed. could someone please tell me whats the easiest (and cheapest) way to solve this problem?
thanks
 
You might want to check which input the recording program is set to use. Many of the programs default to using the Mic In on the sound card, rather than the Line In. On the Windows sounds recorder (for test purposes), check Edit->Audio Properties. That brings up a dialog which shows which inputs & outputs the sound recorder is using.
