You're recording an analog mix from TTs I presume?
I used the software that came with my Soundblaster card to record vinyl records to .wav files. This is the Audigy 2 card which is 24/96 capable theoretically. Some people snear at SB but I've found this card and its software works well. Even the el-cheapo SB Live is apparently not bad. The software was Creative WaveStudio. At first I recorded just one song at a time. But then found I could record an entire side of the record, about 15 minutes, and then use WaveStudio to chop the music into single song wav files, and then convert to mp3. I didn't bother to edit out the turntable clicks, but I think WaveStudio will do that. I can't tell the difference between the sound of the vinyl, wav, and mp3. You could probably record an hour or so of a DJ mix no problem, although I havent tried it. |

Tux: Want a cross platform solution?
Audacity. It's like Soundforge but free. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ 1.2.0pre3 is pretty rockin'. And it works on anything. And crashes FAR less frequently than Soundforge does (At least under linux) |

ok, well i've experimented with a wide variety of programs now, and i have to say that i like Adobe Audition the best. Much cleaner interface, better multitracking & waveform editing, and better recording sound quality IMO. But soundforge is good as well, has a lot of preloaded effects, etc.
Ebbomega, i've used audacity before, it's alright, but at the moment i have to record my sets under windows, because my sound card (Creative Audigy Platinum) isn't fully supported under linux and unfortunately i don't have the time to hack together a fix for my audigy drive aux 2 connections which aren't working atm under linux. damn creative for not making linux drivers.. |

Soundforge for the beginner. Learn to use the reverbs, compressors and limiters to master your mix. Once you get used to a single track audio editor. Consider jumping to Pro Tools for more advanced productions. It works for PC, Win98 though. :/ Unless you get there hardware then it works with XP.
