Just bought a Z2...need advice for recording
Posted on: 30.12.2013 by Aide Blanset
Just wondering if I could get some suggestions for making mixtapes with the Z2 and two 1200's.

If anyone could give me an example of how they do it I would greatly appreciate it.

You can record straight vinyl the same way I mentioned. My setup, which is the way I recommended allows me to record straight vinyl, DVS, or straight digital from within Traktor without ever changing my setup.

When you record through Traktor does it save it in a file on your laptop? Is it easy to convert to an mp3 to burn to a cd?
Yes, Traktor saves the file on your laptop as a .wav file. I use Audacity to convert to mp3 and also amplify the volume itself, but you can use any software that converts wav to mp3 for CD burning.
