"How do I record direct from my mixer into the PC?
Mackie DFX-6 Tape Out into the Mic input on the PC?
Thanks."

This takes me back a few years to when I was trying to record two
tracks on a MacBook Pro with Garage Band. All I can do is tell
you a couple of things I learned. Never really got to to work right.
1) At that time, you could not record directly into the computer.
That is attempting to record an analog signal with a digital program.
I needed an audio interface that converted the analog signal to
a digital signal. I bought an Alesis. I ask anyone, "Has that changed?
Do they now make mixers that do the conversion?" I suspect they
might.
2) Apple sales assured me the MacBook Pro would work. I found
out later that it really didn't. I needed a 7200 rpm hard disk, first,
but more imprtant. I needed way more CPU power. That was the
days before multi core Intel. Also, I ended up buying a computer
with two HDs.
3) Garage Band was fine for people using loops and prerecorded
files. You don't hear much about either Garage Band or Final Cut
Pro today; but, at that time, both were something of the rage.

My point in writing this is that I would have saved time and maybe
even been successful had I assembled the equipment from known
specifications. Trying to piece it together on my own didn't work for me.
