ez, anyone know how to wire up a ps2 through your computer so you can record the audio from games etc? I heard you had to get some costy adaptor plug or summat but I was wondering whether any of you guys had done it without. I'm running a mackie satellite as my interface if that helps..

just plug the red and white rca's into a line in on your recording thing... if it doesnt have rca in's, just get an adapter for whatever it is you need it to goto. most adapters or cables to do that kind of thing are like $2.

I bought an adaptor from a games shop once (for ps1) it was about £10.
ps1 didn't have phono's on the back, didn't need to go thru the telly tho, just straight out the play station and into the soundcard.

I was at a jam a couple weeks ago and there was a dude using a gameboy as an instrument in his set. that's fucking hardcore.

If the tv has a headphone socket, sure.

in the days of video this is how most of us did it
mini-jack in tv headphone socket, to phono in soundcard and its happy days
if your games console/vcr/dvd has its own audio output i'd use rather than the tv just for the sake of a simpler and cleaner signal path

The yellow is video, the red and white are audio.
Make sure your soundcard is configured to record from input.
Connect the red or white or both, and record away.
I used to use a minidisc to record my dvd player.
