Yes, that would be a wav file you need. You don't need any fancy program's or virtual studios just to record a single stereo track....just run the stereo main outs of your xx7 into the line-in of your sound card (you'll probably need a stereo rca to 1/8" jack audio cable with 2 mono 1/4" adapters for the rca side...or something that equivelates to the same). Then use an audio recording program to record the line-in input. Your sound card surely came with at least a simple one. Since we're only doing raw direct recordings, no pre/post mastering, you don't need any extravegant programs. Then take the wav file the recording produced and open it up in LAME and compress it into a a 44khz mp3, was 192kbps the highest rate of encoding? If so, use that setting for best quality results.
