I Cant Get A Clear Connect To Garageband, vinyl to computer Options

[Kid Ambition]

I'm pretty new to macs and computers really, but i am having a big problem and it does not let me move forward. Ok am a DJ and I have never used a computer to record. Now the thing is that I am trying to record my yinyl records onto the computer as i mix it ( I have a 1200 turntable and a vestax mixer hooked up up to an maudio interface). my problem is that when i record into the computer the result is a crappy sound. Now i don't have the beat ear but i know the sound is crap. i try to use the the equalizers and things like that but nothing. Now to add to that problem is that I also want to ad aiff, wav, mp3, etc. whatever the file maybe to the rest of the tracks that I put in, but the quality is so different in them that you can tell as you hear the mix. I need help bad, I want to drop mix cd's but can't. Can someone help me? One more thing. I also need something to split my tracks, is audacity good?

maybe these is not a very clever hints from me - but i think your vestax mixer should have a master- and a record-output - use the record-out. if possible try some other device instead of your m-audio, a minidisc-recorder or something like that. a well-balanced gain should also be very helpful. acoording to your search for a good sample-editor you should perhaps tell us which system you are running...
