I've been playing around with Audacity and would like to use the PA to do multitrack recording ie: mic the drums, record the track through the PA onto the computer, then record the rhythm track through the PA onto the computer, etc. - problem is it's tough to get a PC with a LINE IN input - all have MIC IN but the impedence is wrong for pulling the mix in off the board and there's a tremendous amt of noise/buzz.
The sound card on my Windows XP machine is on the mother board, which means it's lame for recording. I don't have a problem installing a separate PCI sound card but not sure which to get. Seems that they're all geared for gaming, with Dolby 5.1 or 7.1. All I really need is one that will simply have LINE IN. Anyone have suggestions or ideas that worked?
I'm thinking this might work...
