Okay here is the situation right Now:
Turntables and CD go into 3 channel dj mixer> that signal goes out of the mixer through the home stereo Tuner "out record", through an RCA cable into my MAC laptop's 1/4" plug line in. Sound Hack (software) receives line in with input volume adjustment and creates an aiff file.
Result: I can freestyle mix and record in real time; SoundHack converts to digital file that is dropped into iTunes and burned to CD.
Output quality when burned to CD is shiatty

But Damn is it fun compared to making mixed Cassette tapes! (old school hahaha)
-----------
Future: I buy an external sound card with a 1 inch input or RCA cables input that will take away the processing strain from my laptop. The digital conversion will happen externally and a cleaner signal will enter my laptop.
Result: Better sound

Anyone out there have any advice for me?
Can anyone relate?
