is it as simple as using the headphones output or is there a better way??
Yeah, you can do that. They make a plug at RS that goes from the headphone -> rca plugs. I'm sure that you could buy a audio card that had rca outs, but that is really not necessary. Just make sure that you set the volume on the laptop so that it is at the same level as any other input or you could overdrive the pre amp. Just start out a 0 and turn it up from there... This is definitely NOT an audiophile set up, but for a garage, it is more than adequate.
