I am recording a DJ session by taking an output signal from YAMAHA PA mixer to line input on AWE64 sound card. The cable in between is 10 meters long. Yamaha has two ways for taking output signal. Cinch connectors (rec out) and unballanced RCA jacks. Whether I connect the computer to rec out or to RCA Yamaha outputs I get loud noise on main PA system. That obviously don't work. I understand that there are a high impedance outputs on Yamaha and low impedance input on computer sound card. So, some sort of DirectBox should be connected between Yamaha and computer. I am not interested to buy something but to do some DIY project. Does anybody have any hint or link? Did I understood the problem completely? Is simple 1:1 transformer a good solution?

Thanks, Tomislav.
