How to hook your turntables up to a Mac
I've been wanting to do this for a while. To get the mixer into the computer, record MP3's and then burn CD's.
Here are some recommended ways to do it.
Feel free to comment if you know of a good way to do this...
Method 1: Bastante Sophisto
Go to Apple and get one of
these:
Method 2: Medio-Sophisto
Someone else recommended the M-Audio Audiophile USB interface then some kind of Freeware. I have been using
Audiocorder recently.
Audacity also is free and clean, plus you can do simple editing, basic effects, cleaning it up, etc.
One source tried Radio Shack way with a variety of RCA to mini-jack adapters but it was all going mono.
Method 3: Ghetto Technique
Apparently, the little headphone jack will output your soundz in glistening stereo. Run an RCA to 1/8" from mixer main output to computer headphone jack. The recommender of this method uses
soundedit16.
Otherecording programs recommended:
Pro Tools Garageband Cubase Logic Audio
