I was thinking that it should be possible to record the sermons, etc, via a patch cord from the sound system into the computer. Does anyone know if this is possible and if so a simple way of doing it? Thanks, Ian.	ianhnz (4263)

1408835	2015-09-25 00:37:00	Yep as Speedy says. I know several people who do this with Audacity. Most older desks will have a 'tape out' which will be 2x RCAs - really easy. On more modern boards you may need to assign a subgroup or aux to be the recording output, or sometimes you may have two FOH outputs, and you can just use one of those. Do you know the brand/model of your mixing desk? I've used a bit of Presonus gear and it has awesome recording functionality built right in - install the software on the PC and link it up to the desk and you've for yourself a full on multi track recording desk.	wratterus (105)

Hi Speed and thanks. But I thought Microsoft would have it's own recording software, as I'm sure that XP & Vista have it build in. As per sound desk, I've used it a few times, but can't remember. Just know it's a 20 channel, but not used it since last year.	ianhnz (4263)

I'll try and record my, smartphone on my Windows 10 'puter and see how it works. It's a shame you are so far away???? Thanks again.:)	ianhnz (4263)
