Best way to record a set onto a computer?

Anyone edit their sets after recording at all? (adding samples, effects etc?)

Some good packages to get a site / bandwidth etc

Yeah, I use Steinberg Wavelab too - nice, easy ... quick. Doesn't hog your system resources unlike some other programs (which means less chance of your soundcard popping etc.)

Yeah, what soundcard?

boot up your computer.

stick a RCA to stereo mini-plug cable into the computer line-in audio jack.

launch an audio app (Peak/Sound Studio for Mac OS X / Audition/Soundforge/Wavelab/etc for Windows 2000/XP). check the audio levels coming out of your mixer - try not to have them going on or over 0 dB.

get your tunes sorted. hit record on the audio app. start mixing.

save the file once you're done and try not to have anything else running too heavily on the computer while you're recording.

just normalising it slightly and fading out the end. maybe a quick 3 second sample at the start, but not normally.

PowWeb - www.powweb.com
DreamHost - www.dreamhost.com

both of these guys are great - about 2GB space and heaps of monthly bandwidth. cheap too.

Just put a dicatphone next to your monitor, great for that bootlegged in concert sound.

Sometimes it helps to have some mates cheer into a reverbed, echo'ed mike for that big room feel.

jbs- to too far from the mark mate...
I have been recording onto tape for the past 6 years and have a box full of the things that no one can listen too (cause who has tape decks anymore)- inlcuding a catalogue of 3 years of "electrobe" my old radio show...
put a few of the tapes onto a disc via a computer, "great quality"

just moved into a new place and my flatmate has a home built computer, major tech head, so im guessing he has a decent sound card. He has itunes on the computer, I also have an old version of Soundforge (v4.0) from 5 years ago or so, so I may try that first unless I can rip one of the above programs from somewhere.

d email me ... last year i learnt almost everything about recording dj mixes onto computer and then completely fucking with them afterwards ... i've got software too if you want it.

endless possibilities ... the mixes you can bang together on computer are pretty crazy if you're willing to sit down for a few weeks.
