VDJ can do this, just wire an output from the mixer to the line in, select record file in VDJ, and record from the line in of your soundcard..
Alternatively you can record the same way in "cool edit"..

And it can be done in VDJ as I described, the master out of your mixer needs to be connected to a line in socket on your soundcard, in VDJ, you record from the line in, so whatever leaves the speakers (the mix) is recorded in VDJ, simular to the way the broadcast feature works (for external mixer software).
Alternatively, cool edit is a great recording and editing program.
Do you understand now?..

I use Soundforge personally and find it excellent.

I use the software that came with my SB Audigy 2 and record from Line Input, or "What it sounds". It's Great too!

Will you loose sound quality if you play and record on the same PC?

No, I do it all the time. You don't loose any quality at all. In what way could you loose quality?

I figure you would put some type of drain on your PC by using up a lot of memory. I have 768 ram memory. This is great to know. thanks.
I was going to spend money on a second computer, now I dont have to. Now I can buy my a new mixer. I want to Numark PPD9000, this way I can hook up the line and digital outputs from my TT-X1's to my mixer. I will use the line outs for virtual dj and the Digital outs for my regular 12 inche records.

I use a P4 3.2GHz, 1536MB DDR2 RAM... Means 8 programs open at a time and the PC is ok

768mb's of RAM is a fine amount to run VDJ together with a recording software, no problem ;).

Whats wrong with recording straight to the computer with VDJ?
I know you can do it with Atomix as I do it all the time. Then,after recording your mix either burn it to a CD or convert it to an mp3.

Nice to see you as a full version user lack1 :), what do you mean by "I have 2 soundcards"?.

It's better to play with a soundcard and record with another one, instead of doing the 2 things with only one card. Sondcards are full-duplex, so 1 card can reproduce and record at the same time, but this results in a loss of quality. Surely there's a lot of difference between an AC3 audio chipset on motherboard (in this case the loss is clearly perceptible) and an Audigy, but that's it.

I recommend you download the demo of Traction 2 from mackie.com
It's loaded with plugins for effects and mastering.
If you buy a Mackie Onyx board (GREAT preamps) with their firewire interface, you get Traction 2 free and you don't even need a soundcard.
