hey grkgeo......well, basically you need two things, the first being a device which will convert the signal from your mixer from analog to digital (from RCA to USB). The cheapest way to go about this is to buy a Griffin iMic (www.griffintechnology.com) which sells for around $40 US. For better quality and versatility I would recommend something like the M-Audio Audiophile USB or Duo USB (www.m-audio.com). I have the Duo USB and just love it. Okay, the second thing you need is a software program which will record your mixes. Now, I don't know what kind of computer (mac or pc)you have so, being a mac user, i can recommend sound studio to you, it's basic and easy to use (www.felttip.com). if you have a pc then i dunno, just do a forum search for recording software, people are always asking talking about it.

good luck!
