There is a huge range of software allowing you to DJ on your PC on the market at the moment it would be impossible to include everything.\n\nTo get you started you could download a free trial of a pc dj program like the following and have a play about:\n\nVirtual DJ 3.4\nhttp://www.download.com/Virtual-DJ/3003-2170_4-10511899.html?tag=lst-0-4\n\nTraktor DJ Studio 3\nhttp://www.download.com/Traktor-DJ-Studio/3000-2170_4-10474307.html?tag=lst-0-6\n\nMixMeister Pro 5.1.2\nhttp://www.download.com/MixMeister-Pro/3000-2170_4-10250019.html?tag=lst-0-1\n\nThat should get you started, there are more advanced options like ableton live but i would try the above progs first

You need a male to male cable with a 3.5mm stereo jack plug at each end. \n\nConnect one end to your headphone socket on the hifi, and the other to the line in on your laptop sound card. \n\nHey presto! You simply capture the incoming audio with the software of your choice, and in the format of your choice.

You don't need any software, just get an RCA lead that that has a headphone plug at one end and plugs that will go into your stereo at the other.  It should then simply plug into your headphone socket.   Just go to any computer shop and ask, it should cost about £5 ($10).  If you want to set up additional sets of speakers you should be able to do it from your stereo.  Hope that helps.

I work at a community station and there is a room full of machinery that I don't understand.\nBut basically, you need a microphone, two CD players, if you're playing recorded interviews you need a minidisc or DAT player, or an audio file system like Raduga on a computer. You would also need adobe audition to edit. If you're DJing you need two turntables and a mixer. You also need a main mixing desk, for all the different feeds. Then you need a transmitter and an antenna.

Well, as long as you are going to be at your computer the same time every day, there is a free audio editing program that you can download to accomplish this.  It's called Audacity and it is a free and open source application for recording and editing audio, get it here, http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/beta_windows if you want to export the recording as a MP3 you will also need to get the LAME MP3 encoder here, http://audacity.sourceforge.net/help/faq?s=install&item=lame-mp3\n\nTo record the radio program just select "What U Hear" from the source list in Audacity and hit record, once the show is over, stop it and you can edit it to your liking and export it in the format of your choice.\n\nThat is, if you are going to be at your computer.  If not I know of no free way to set up a timed recording and if you want to do that you will need to get the $45 RadioShark, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001WW3F2/102-5427414-1229753?v=glance&n=172282

There's a number of ways to do this. \n\nYour PC might have a sound card that has audio inputs. If so then connecting your turntable to an amplifier...then the amplifier to those audio inputs using RCA cables (available at Radio Shack) is the first step. You'll also need a software application that can record the incoming audio and convert to the MP3 format...your PC may have this already installed or you can use something like Audacity to make the recording then convert it.\n\nAnother way which I like is using a MP3 player/recorder. IRiver has a couple of models that will record a line input from an external source. So, again, connect the turntable/amplifier to the MP3 recorder...cue up your album and hit record on the MP3 recorder and away you go...the result is MP3 files you can listen to on the unit itself or transfer to your PC using the included IRiver software. \n\nThere's probably other manufacturers who make MP3 recorders but I've found the Irviver models to work well.\n\nhope that helps...

This process is really not very difficult. I have converted all of my vinyl to digital over the years.\n\nYou can connect your turntable directly to your computer with the right cables. \n\nY-cable - 2) female phono to 1) mini (1/8") male (Radio Shack has these)\n\nPlug the 2 phono cables coming from your turntable into the 2 female phono cables. Plug the 1/8" mini cable into your "line in" input on your computer. Make sure you also attach your ground cable on your turntable (if you have one) to almost any grounding post (like a screw on the back of your computer)\n\nNow, all you need is some software. Something like DART CD-Recorder  ( http://www.dartpro.com/ ) Really easy to use and will automatically convert any analog signals (vinyl, cassettes, whatever) to digital files. \n\nUse your sound card on your computer as the mixing device for optimum gain control.\n\nNo need to be intimidated by this cuz it's much easier to do than describe. Do this one time, and you'll be setup and good to go.\n\nBy the way, you can do this with any component you have. Turntables, Cassette Decks, anything.\n\nIf you have problems - contact me. I'll try to walk you through it.

You would need a MIDI converter and possibly some software, go to your local music store and ask them for advice.

Try sending CDs to individual DJs.  BBC radio 6 is a great place to try.  \nAlso set a website with sample tracks - 30 second clips of 3 or 4 songs people can hear for free.\nPersistance will pay off EVENTUALY - keep trying again and again and again and again.\nDo lots of local gigs as eventually the right person may come andperforming live can be great fun if you get enough experience of doing it!\nKeep trying and good luck.

1 Connect your turntable to the LINE-IN input plug on your sound card. If your sound card only has a mini 1/8th input and your turntable has only RCA's, you should be able to purchase an adapter that has stereo female RCA connectors to a male stereo mini-plug (1/8th inch). You can also connect your turntable to your home stereo system to provide better cable compatibility however if you do, TURN OFF YOUR EQ or SET THE EQ FLAT.\n\n2 Make sure you have got the correct Line Source selected or armed for recording on your sound card. On my system that has a Sound Blaster Platinum Extigy, it is found by double clicking on the Creative icon with the speaker. Then chose the appropriate source using the dropdown. Otherwise, go to Control Panel->Sounds and Multimedia->Device Properties\n\n3 If you have MusicMatch Jukebox, then you can simply use this app as an efficient means of recording from LINE-IN. Hit play on the cassette player and hit record in the jukebox application. You should end up with is a WAV file that is around 10 MB in size for every minute of recording.\n\n4 If you're a little more advanced, you may want to substitute MusicMatch for an audio editor. I prefer Sonic Foundry's Sound Forge 5.0 since its the most powerful recording application available with plug-ins useful for filtering out noise or restoring audio quality due to inconsistencies. Start up the audio editor and make sure you have set your recording parameters to 44.1 khz, stereo and 16 bit. The resulting WAV file will be of 'CD quality'.\n\n5 To convert the WAV to MP3, there are a lot of choices. If you're a beginner, you may want to download an all-in-one package that offers an MP3 encoder, decoder and player. See the MP3 section of this site. When you go to encode remember that the higher the bit-rate, the higher the audible quality of the music. An MP3 file in stereo at 128Kbps is the standard, but you can go much higher if you want. Sound Forge 5.0 has a built mp3 encoder/decoder.\n\nOther than that, just buy the mp3 or album on iTunes or napster

Use MP3Gain. It has lots of features. The interface is very intuitive.\n\nDownload it from http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net/

You probably need to purchase a new sound card. Same thing happened with my PC, had a power outage and had to replace sound card because it got fried somehow. Usually a decent sound card for just playing music and sound, nothing fancy like bass, DJing, is $30-50.
