Go to your mixer and make sure you have the line-in thing unmuted and the level is set correctly. A lot of laptops have a line-in/mic-in that you can switch. All they have to do is turn off the boost to make it a line-in. -- :: atomly :: atomly@atomly.com | atomly@atdot.org | atomly@curiousnetworks.com http://www.atomly.com | http://www.mp3.com/atomly --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
