Audio Recording

Hi EC,

So I recently got my decks for DJing, and I'm loving them loads. However, I now have an issue of capturing audio, I tried to just simply use the booth out of the mixer to the line in of my computer, then use audacity to capture the line in input, however I could hear a scratchy/muffled sound, so the quality isn't high enough there.

Does anybody have experience here capturing audio? Are there any external digital recorders that can record in very high quality you'd advise? I'm using .wav files so would like my very high quality audio to remain just that.

Thanks!

 

I'm not recording with a mic, I'm using CDJ players connected to a mixer, then trying to capture the audio playing in that mixer, so I need much higher power to maintain high quality. Also .wav files aren't low quality, they're the best quality, MP3s are compressed lossy files, basically .wav files with less quality to save space.

I think this might be part of the problem, simply because .wav files are such high quality that they require stronger audio capturing devices, I'm just not sure of what requirements I'll need to capture in high quality though :/

 

Hmm yeah that's too expensive, I'm after something that can record in high quality at loud levels, just something cheaper than capture most of the data of the .wav files, so not much/no quality is lost. Do you know of anything cheaper that would get the job done?
