I want to hook up my turntables to my computer to make mixes and burn them to CD. I was wondering if there are any shareware programs that I can test out before I go and spend good money on a program? Maybe I can get some input from you guys? thanks in advance!!!

soundforge and wavelab are good as well,rather soundforge tho tbh. there's no shareware of these but there's demo versions of them out and i think you can do everything on the demos apart from save,bugger!

Let me get this straight you want to mix up a storm on your decks, and record them and then burn it on your pc? Its easy, but long....
1. Connect your mixer/amp to the computer using a Y RCA-to-3.5mm jack, and plug this into your "line-in" on your sound card.
2. Load up your software. I use Cool Edit 2000, which is shareware and available at www.syntrillium.com. And... "is able to be manipulated." >=)
3. Enable your computer to record from Line-In. In Windows you do this by opening up you mixer (botton right hand corner, the little speaker). Click on the "Options" Menu and then go to "properties". Go to recording and make your the "Line In" is checked. Click OK. Check "Line in" on the mixer now in front of you and got back to your Software.
4. Make a new file. You want to set the file to be 44100hz 16bit in Stereo. This is what CD's are recored at. Start recording. Note: This will chew up Hard-disk space like nothing else!!!
5. Once the mix is finished, SAVE THE FILE!!!
6. To Burn open up your burner software, I use Nero. Load in the huge wav file. Now in Nero, you can split it, which is what people want. Split the wav file into different tracks (You can do this perfect in Nero - properties of the track) and hit OK. Then you get "pauses" in between tracks, like 2 seconds by default. Remove this. Select every track, but the first and remove this pause (In Nero, select the tracks, and right-click. Click on properties and a box comes up...)
7. Stick in a CD with the right amount of time space on it and hit burn!!
8. Wait until finished.
9. Take out the CD, then test it.
10. Thank ryg0r for excellent info!! [email protected]
