All you will need is Audacity and cable from mixer to laptop, RCA to headphone jack, 3.5mm from memory. Plug in cable, open Audacity and away you go. Remember you will have to play around with Audacity settings to get good sound quality. Don't have the volume on your mixer up to high and turn down the recording volume in Audacity. Its all trial and error until you find what works best for you. Good luck.
