guess you figured this out already. if not, it explains how to record vinyl in the manual i think. you can download it from the serato site if you didn't get a manual. also there is a forum thatll answer most tech questions.

you'll need an RCA to 1/8 input cable to run from your mixer to your laptop input. There are several audio recording programs out there for so just look around. I use Audacity usually but I record on my desktop instead of my laptop. Try and find a software that doesn't eat up a lot of RAM so serato will still run smoothly.

The scratchlive.net support section has several articles for recording your vinyl to your laptop. I'd recommend using a good needle and if you can afford it pick up a power conditioner so you don't get a lot of noise in your recordings.
