Ok, I'm a newbie on this forum, I just recently purchased a YAMAHA mixer with an AT3035 mic to record into my PC. But my question is that I have a regular CREATIVE BLASTER PC soundcard with the standard IN and OUT line and a LINE for a MIC...................................

NOw do i hook up my mic thru the mixer and then it goes out to my MIC line on my sound card? will this work? Or do i have to purchase a whole new soundcard? I am really short on cash, and i do not want to do that, PLEASE HELP!!! oh yeah, and what kind of wires would i need for this to work?

Thankx you guyz and ROCK ON!

Plug the mic into the mixer, make sure phantom power is turned on. Plug a dual rca to 1/8 inch Y-cable form the tape outs on the mixer to the line in(not mic) on the soundcard. If your mixer doesn't have rca tape outs then use some female rca to male 1/4 inch adapters.
