Charlie,

Now I know why you're having a problem. You do have a line-in, but you have to know where it is and how to activate it.

The Line-In is the same jack as the mic jack, but you have to take it a step or two farther.

1. Plug the stereo output of the mixer into the 1/8-inch mic jack on the laptop.

2. Double click the small, speaker icon on the lower right corner of the laptop screen, which will open the Volume Control screen in Windows.

3. Click Options, Properties, then Click Recording.

4. Place a check mark in the Stereo Mix box and click OK.

5. Now place a check mark in the select box beneath the Stereo Mix slider, set the slider at about 50 percent volume level, then close the page.

This selects the stereo, line-in for the computer. You were apparently recording through the mic connection, which would explain why you were having problems. BTW, to my knowledge there is no way to make these settings default, therefore, before each recording session, the settings must be made using the above steps.

Hope this helps,

Gary
