you want dual phono to single 3.5mm cable and then output it from one of your mixer outs, to your microphone port on your PC

Audacity: Download (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/)

this is where to download it - you will allso need to download the lame enoder lame_enc.dll .. there is a link to this on the soundforge site as well
