How to conect audio interface to DJ mixer

[Quazzi]

HI guys!

 

I want to record my sets with good quality so I bought a Focusrite Scarlet 2i2:

But I'm having dificulty getting the right cable to conect it to my DJ mixer Pioneer DJM 300 s:

To conect them I have bought a cable 2 RCA's to 1 jack 6,3 mm. The RCA's come out from the master out in the mixer and the jack into the audio interface, but I'm not hearing a clear sound from the audio interface. I'm guessing this is not the right cable.

 

Anyone has a similar type of system to record it's sets? What cable are you using?

 

 

Thanks in advance

This won't work. You're taking a stereo signal from the mixer's main outs and feeding it into a mono input on the Scarlett. So you need a 2xRCA -> 2x6,3mm cable and use both inputs on the Scarlett (and set the switch to "line").

And of course pan the left input all the way to the left and the right all the way to the right in whatever software you're using to record.
