Poeple will help you here but make it a little easier for them:

What kind of mixer have you got give a screen shot to the back of it as you might have a digital output etc and do you have a soundcard in your PC or are you using on board sound? then does your mother board have Optical input?

If the normal way {the motherboard way} you probaly have to use mini jack input so how many outputs have you got on your mixer if 2 one for you amp one for your PC would be better.

So the basic way {Phono Out L+R} of your DJ Mixer into {Mini Jack In} on your PC,so you will need to buy a lead and then you will need to find a editing program etc that will let you record sound coming in to your PC! and track listing for CD people here will tell you what program will be best for you hope i helped!

If you don't know what Optical output/input looks you will see it is covered with a black plastic thingy look closely at the black plastic thingy and take it of then a laser will shoot out in your eye and blind you that means you got Optical output/input which will now help you focus on your mixing more! but finding tunes is harder!

Hi mate,i had a look at the rear of your mixer {was gona make a joke out of that but thought better not} you have amp out and tape out so use tape out that will be fine,so all you need is a lead just make sure it is long enough to reach your PC,so when you go to buy lead tell the guy in the shop that you want to plug your DJ mixer into your PC and that you need a Phono L+R to a Stereo mini jack,he will probaly give you a Phono to Phono lead and an adapter/extension of some sort and ends up a mini jack anyway as you will have a mini jack port on your PC!
