Best way for me to record my demo?

[nboyer941]

Hello, I'm trying to find the best, most cost affective way for me to record myself playing to use as a demo for a media packet of myself.

I am thinking I simply want to play my drum machine with some pre recorded fills and play my bass along with it.

I have a mackie 16 channel soundboard, but I'm thinking that using the "out" on this is not the best option.

My drum machine does not have an "in" for my bass.

I have a Zoom H2 recorder with an 1/8" "in."

I have a laptop and audacity.

**So, what is my best bet here. Should I buy something so that I can play into my computer and then edit it?



I tried running my bass and drum machine into the mackie board, and then out of the board into the zoom H2 but it sounded like dog ****.

Help! thanks.
