Do I still need the Channel Mixer if I want to discard the right channel? I'm only interested in the left channel in the output. You wrote in your first post that you wanted to delete left channel.

Use the device toolbar to set the recording input to the sound card input that you are using. Note that the signal from the headphone output of your amp is likely to be far too big for a microphone input. If your computer has one, then you would probably be better to plug into a "line" inp...
