i post in the hope that some techno brain-box can help set myself to record the odd dj mix, as i have recently started djing again.
my dj set-up is fine & in full woring order: 2 techincs 1210’s mk2, connected to a pioneer djm-500 mixer, thru a technics su-v55a amp.
but how do i set-up/connect to my laptop - do i connect the stereo mini-jack to RCA to my technics su-v55a amp or thru the mixer - i have been trying to get my head around this for good while & i am no further forward.
can any brain-box please help to set-up to get a decent recording ???
That’s the setup for overdubbing/sound-on-sound, but you can put the headphones wherever you want. That’s a Behringer UCA202. It’s not the only one that will do this, but it’s the one I/we have the most experience with.
I presume that you have the “Master Out” connected to your amp, in which case you can connect the “booth monitor” out to the computer.
Note that the “booth monitor mix” is not necessarily the same as the “Master” mix, so use your headphones connected to the mixer to hear what is being sent to the computer.
