Depends what equipment and software you are using..

Can you please state what equipment and software (if any) you're using?

cdj 800's with a djx 750 mixer. ive got a channel for a mic which i am assuming ill need for recording

[wrxfiend]

The mic input is to talk or rhyme over your tunes, just take the output of your mixer and run it into a computer or laptops mic in. You will need a red and black rca to 3.5mm jack cable.

Install audacity or another basic recording programme then you will be able to record your mixes into the computer as a wav file.

Hope that helps

for people with a similar question. In my case I personally record in audacity. its free, user friendly, easy to edit with and FREE!!! however unlike wrxfiend's description. when I tried to record with an rca to aux chord through my laptops mic input the sound was terrible, ( peaking uncontrollably ) so I run my rca's from my mixer through an external sound card ( m-audio 'fast track' ) which converts to usb, and gives a really clean sound. A behringer U-control ( or something of a similar price ) will do the job just fine though if you have the same or a similar issue when recording

Sounds like your mic sensitivity. Issues like that should be easily avoided with a little configuration.

to the OP: Your mixer may even have a dedicated record out channel, if not, perhaps a second master out. This will mean you can record on your computer and still mix through your speakers! Bonus!

always asked by many

(so maybe make this thread a sticky)

AUDACITY

DL- http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/

this is the easiest way, and most people will recommend it

if thats still confusing, heres the basic rundown

install the program first of all, then to connect your gear to you computer

use a RCA to headphone jack cable

you can buy these from most electronics/audio stores etc

$4 on ebay aswell ;P

ok, now that goes from your Booth out/ or record out, from your mixer,

and then into your "line in" (next to headphones in) on your computer

No line in? use the microphone in

configure as shown in video, press record, sweet as

But i wanna be lyke a superstar youtube dj like Dj bl3nd, heez likke my heerooo

an easy way to record your mix with video

WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER

pretty much same concept, same cable n such,

easy to do with a laptop, as there is a webcam in most modern day pc's

do settings, (capture video) done, upload to youtube (become a hero)

(as per video, better quality will come with a better soundcard, so maybe something to invest into)

behringer u control (shown in vid)

still confused?? just rewatch the vids

hope this answers any questions, happy recording!

This is due to your 3.5mm input being a 'mic' in and not a 'line' in. A mic input has the pre-gain set a lot higher as it's designed for having a mic in it. A line level input is designed for a line level input (funnily enough) such as an ipod, mixer, etc..

It may be switchable in your audio drivers (sometimes but not always), otherwise an external card is the only way to go
