Recording from a mixer to a laptop

[dannobyte]

Hi all,

Just a short question. Is it possible to record from an audio mixer (from the headphone socket) directly onto a PC (through the mic socket on the sound card)?

I'm not really a full bottle on audio equipment so any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Dan

You can always try it, but very likely it is going to sound distorted due to impedace/level mismatching.

Headphone socket output is generally way too much for a microphone input.

Normally you use something like "line in" or "aux" input for audio, if/when your laptop's sound card is so equipped.
