I currently use the built in recording function of Serato to record my sets ,
I record in WAV 24bit I then do a simple "top and tail" in Audacity and export to 320kps MP3 . Upload this for mastering via LANDR and then finally upload the mastered version to Mixcloud.
Do you use a hardware recorder - e.g. Evermix maybe ? (https://evermix.fm/)
I notice they are about to release a new version (EvermixBox4)
What are the alternatives ,comment below on your workflow and tips.
Audacity : https://sourceforge.net/projects/audacity/

Interestingly after I posted this Mixcloud have published a blog post on the topic :)

I use Mixmeister and Traktor Pro to set up the mix and Audacity to overwiev and save it at 320 kps
Nice workflow :)
I use the built in recording function of Serato too. I record in AIFF then convert to MP3 320kps to upload in Mixcloud and on my phone to listen when I want.
thanks Rick - interestingly why the preference of AIFF over WAV , especially if you're going to MP3 after ?
Has anyone used the TASCAM DR-40X for recording sets ?
I use a Tascam, direct jack output from my mixer. Ideal for vinyl. Upload straight to Mixcloud
Thanks Andy - I took the plunge and grabbed a tascam will see how we go. (Sorry I cant reply to your reply due to limits on posts here )
