according setup described, this.

1) plug rca end of cable rca outputs of bose l1

2) plug 1/8" male end of cable line input of macbook pro.

3)in whatever recording software you're using on mac, go audio preferences. select "built in line input" audio input device.

4) check levels on macbook pro , make necessary gain adjustments clean signal recording.


downsides solution:

- inferior audio quality compared using multi channel audio interface converter
- inflexible mixing. since recorded 2-track stereo audio file, lu can't go in , adjust volume of indivdual audio sources.



here better solution costs bit of money far more flexible mixing , recording. can buy audio interface 8 or more input channels, motu 8pre.

witt setup ditch 6-channel mixer altogether , use audio interface mixer run mics, karaeoke machine, etc. macbook pro. record audio sources on own tracks, better mixing afterwards. run outputs of audio interface bose l1 play through speakers while still recording.

downsides:

- cost
- little more complex setup
