Burning vinyl to CD via mixer query

    Hopefully somebody may be able to help with this.

    My home set-up consists of two KAM turntables and two separate CD players plugged into a two line mixer, which is in turn plugged into my amplifier.
    Both lines on the mixer each have two inputs [a switch flicks between each one] with a turntable and CD player connected to each line.
    The volume button on the amplifier is permanently set in the same position [about 40%] while the volume for what I am listening to is controlled via the mixer.

    When I was burning vinyl to my standalone CD recorder the strength of the recording level was controlled via the mixer i.e to produce a signal between -0.3db and 0db required the levels to be up at the top.

    The standalone CD recorder has now given up the ghost.

    I am planning on connecting my laptop to my system and using an editing program like Wavelab or Audacity.

    My query relates to the connections.
    I understand that usually the turntable is connected directly to a PC/laptop.
    However because my turntables are routed through the mixer [and I want to keep them like this] should the mixer then be connected to the laptop? If so, which way should it be done?

    Thanks

    If your laptop has a 'Line-Input' your ok. Simply use a 'phono to jack' lead from your 'Rec / Line-Out' on the mixer to the 'Line-Input' on the laptop. - Some laptops dont have a line-in only a 'Mic-In' - this wont work, it will only produce 'Mono' Audio. - You'll need to buy a pcmcia audio card.

    hope this helps.
