I don't really have a complex and professional mixer, but a very simple one (Stanton M201) and it doesn't have a Record Output, which means i cant use Internal or External Recording..
Then how do i record my mixes?
I tried the Mixvibes record option but
1. you cant record both decks in one file and
2. it also records the things only i am supposed to hear

Any other options?

Hey,

you can use cinch y cable like make one out to 2 out. Those adapters cost a few cents ( I bought them at a local Technic store for about 50cent per cable). I mean this: http://static.letsbuyit.com/filer/images/de/products/original/133/60/cinch-y-kabel-adapter-gewinkelt-black-13360628.jpeg

I use this cable to connect my CD player to my Interface and also to my mixer to get it working without using my computer when I want to hear some music.

Hey,

With interface I mean my soundcard U46MK2.

To the connection: The splittercable on the output of your mixer to your soundsystem (PA or some loudspeakers) and the second output of the splittercable go with an cinch to 3,5mm jack cable to your computer or laptop in the LINE-IN.

Yes I mean that you connect this adapter on the output of you mixer and on this you can connect 2 cinch-cable. One to your soundsystem and one cinch to 3,5mm jack to your LINE-IN from your computer.

The adapter is shown in the picture. There I have connected one cable to my interface (U46Mk2) and the second directly to my mixer. So I can use my CD-player directly without starting my computer.
