    Pretty sure OP said he had an audio 2. This doesn't have any inputs, so the only way to record is either to use a separate USB interface and recording program, or actually to shell out for a new soundcard altogether. Pretty sure this is the case as I have an audio 2 and the same problem (the recording in traktor thing not the ground loop thing).

    Aye you're right - no input then.

    Do I have to change anything to internal mixing mode?

    Hum is either from the mixer or laptop. my bet is the laptop. Grab an in line ground loop isolator and see if that helps.

    i searched them on amazon, but couldn't find one that i was comfortable with buying. I really dont feel like spending a million dollars on one either.

    You could try using the record out on your mixer to your line in on the laptop, then some other external app to record -- audacity or whatever you're currently using. Might be worth a try if you have the rca to stereo adapter/cable.

    i get the hum through the line in and through the USB device...

    i read that cheap power supplies in laptops are usually the cause of the noise...

    Keith I had the same problem with my old laptop and bought a cheap isolator from ebay. Only cost me approx £5 and fixed my problem.

    Something like this (US seller needed for you) will suffice.

    Separate your power cords from your signal cables if you have a cable nest.

    The best way to avoid grounding loops is having as few as possible!

    i.e. no rca cables if possible, keep to a minimum.

    Brittish company NAIM came far with their DIN technology.
