Just buy a SB Live Platinum or Audigy Platinum sound card. Can plug a 1/8" patch right into the multimedia interface. - Wed, 8 Oct 2003 10:45am

Or you can buy an adapter at an&b sound for 2 dollars for the end of your patch cord so it can plug into the mic input on your pc. - Wed, 8 Oct 2003 11:10am

How cheap do you need?
for $100 you can buy a little two channel mic preamp, that has inputs for guitar too. That way you can run guitars or mics into your soundcard and get good quality. I've got one called the 'Audiobuddy' like I said, about $100 at long and mcquade.

If you don't have a soudncard allready you can get a usb sound interface that has mic preamps and guitar inputs allready. I've got the edirol ua-5 for my laptop and it pleases me greatly. It's more expensive though, about $400
but if you have to buy a soundcard anyways it might be worth it. - Wed, 8 Oct 2003 9:03pm

Line out from mixing board to line in on soundcard (Sound Blaster Live! Value, works for me)

Software to capture live sound (I use WaveLab v4.00)

Bring your aux levels down to about half, record and play live.

Make sense? - Wed, 8 Oct 2003 9:25pm
