Recording SP303 to Computer?

Post by MoeNeedle »

I've just received the SP303, I was just wondering how to record it to my PC. Do I need a mixer? If so what is the best mixer to do this?

You need a audio interface. You can use a mixer if it has an audio interface.

You don't need a mixer or audio interface.

Does your computer have a sound card with audio input?
It's probably colored red and green and have a headphone and microphone icon on it.

You can get a RCA to 1/8" mini plug and hookup your SP directly into computer.

Then you just need software to record.
Audacity is free.
There's also a plethora of other programs you can use.

Do what matt said and see if the audio quality is good enough for you. If not buy a audio interface.
