rca from mixer master / booth / rec out to an in on your traktor sound card. Select those channels in traktor rec pref. done.

Thanks SB, so I definitely need the sound card?

So here is my next question; my complete set up consists of the cdj900, djm 800, plus 2 kontrol f1's. do I need to buy the audio 6 or the audio 10?

I assumed you had the soundcard since you said you were using Traktor but I guess you were using the CDJs in HID mode. If this is the case, any cheap sound card with rca in will work for recording.

If you are using timecode and want to run the sample decks through the mixer, get the audio 10.

No sound card yet m8, hence the reason for the posting in the first place, as i needed to find out exactly where I was going wrong before I spent anymore money.

Audio 10 it is then, this is going to please the mrs lol

Am I correct in saying that, if I want the to buy the A10 I need to buy the scratch pro package also?

I don't understand, if you're using the 900's then use them in HID mode. Run this cable from the rec out of your DJM 800 to an input on your computer/laptop and download audacity, then press the big red record button. It couldn't be simpler. There's no need to have a Traktor soundcard in your case.

Thanks m8, I have one these cables already. With audacity, it records what sound is coming out of the PC/laptop, correct me if I am wrong but if the sound is connected to the amp, mixer etc, the sound is not coming out of the pc hence audacity will not be able to pick up the sound.

I tried audacity yesterday but got nothing from it

Which Macbook do you have?

You're probably better off just getting one of these... http://www.zoom.co.jp/english/products/h2/

Fortunately you are wrong. You need to plug the RCA end into the record out of the mixer and the 3.5mm end into your laptop's mic input, then (this is the bit you've probably missed) make sure you select the mic input as the input device in audacity or whatever you're using to record.
