Help on recording mixes

Use AUDACITY on your computer! Route the audio from your master or booth output to a USB soundcard (plug RCA or 1/4″ into most of these) and plug the USB into the computer. You might have to install a driver for the soundcard. Then Audacitiy should recognize the soundcard for input. Press record and go!

On the DJM800 plug into the RCA jacks marked Rec Out, not into the master or booth out.

If you don’t have a compatible soundcard on some laptops the mic input jack will also accept a line signal. You could try to connect that with an RCA to mini-jack cable. If that works then you are in business with free software like Audacity.

If that doesn’t work, you could either look at getting a soundcard (doesn’t need to be a DJ card) or what I would personally recommend is buying a pocket recorder. I own the Zoom H1 (https://www.long-mcquade.com/10403/Pro_Audio_Recording/Multi-track_Recorders/Zoom/H1_Handy_Recorder_-_Black.htm) and can plug it into anything I might want to record, then I just copy the mp3 file over to my computer later. It is not an expensive little gadget, and comes in handy all the time.
