Audio recording question.

[lilsensa]

What is the best thing to use for recording..I am using Serato on a Macbook. Line in from the mixer to an mp3 player to record is just not getting the job done as well as I would like it..Is there anything that any of you have used that records on the Macbook while using Serato? Something that isn't going to take up too much processor speed, etc...What is this M:Audio usb recording interface thingy? Does it work with software??

Any help is greatly appreciated..

ableton with an M:audio external soundcard.

the m:audio interface is for m:audio products. if you buy an external card, it will come with a lite version of ableton.

iKey sucks balls. worst piece of equipment ever, it's a gemini, go figure.

ableton, audiohijack, biaspeakpro all work nicely on mac.

I have mp3 players that record from my mixer but I'm having problems playing at full volume (I live in an apartment and I don't want to piss off the people that live next to me) so the sound that gets recorded is at minimum volume, which sucks....Was looking more along the lines of a software program for Mac that would allow me to record while I play from Serato..

Re: Audio recording question.

i would think you could do it with the mp3 player.

do you have a mixer with a rec out... plug your mp3 player to that jack up the mixer volume and turn down the monitors or stereo... whatever you have...

why not just turn down the volume on your speakers and turn the gain on your mixer all the way up?

I have a decent mp3 player, but an iriver would kick ass.

Re: Audio recording question.

Shit!!! I figured out what my prob was.....I had the record out on my mixer connected to line in on my amp...Then I had my line out on my amp to my mp3....I'm an idiot....My mp3 was never connected to my rec out on the mixer.....
