How to Transfer a VHS to a MacBook

Install the appropriate VHS conversion software onto your MacBook. This will upload programs that can convert the video from your VHS into a video file, such as an MPEG. Restart your MacBook if required.
Connect the USB plug of the analog/digital video converter to one of the open USB ports on your MacBook.
Connect the VCR to the analog/digital video converter with the RCA A/V cable. Make sure that all RCA plugs are connected to their color-appropriate jacks.
Insert your VHS tape into the VCR. Make sure to rewind the videocassette all the way to the beginning.
From your MacBook, open up the installed VHS conversion software. Begin a new conversion project with your software, so the program imports the VHS signal encoded by the digital converter and converts it into a usable video file. Reference the owner’s manual or help section of your VHS conversion software if you’re having difficulties starting the program.

How Do I Hook My Mac to My Mixer Board?

Connect the mixer board to other instruments, microphones or sources you want to use in the recoding. Connect the power source to the mixer. Connect the amplifier and speakers to the mixer board as well.
Connect the small end of the 3.5mm-to-RCA cable to the line-out jack on the back of the Mac computer or on the side if a MacBook. On many Macs, the line-out port has a green ring around it and might be the connection used for your computer speakers if you are using a desktop computer. Other Macs have a headphone or audio-wave symbol next to the port to differentiate it from line-in or microphone ports. Disconnect the speakers from your computer if the port is already in use.
Connect the other end of the audio cable to the RCA line-in or auxiliary jacks on the mixer. If the mixer does not have RCA ports, use an RCA-to-1/4-inch adapter to connect the Mac to the mixer board.
Open an audio or music player application on the Mac. Load an audio file into the player, then click 'Play.' You should be able to hear the sound on the external speakers connected to the amplifier plugged into the mixer board.

How to Connect Serato With CDJ

Plug your CDJ's cables into the input sockets on the SL 1. The left deck goes into input 1, while the right deck is input 2. (When facing your decks, these inputs are on the back of the interface. When looking at the back of the interface, the right deck goes into the input on the left, while the left deck goes into the input on the right. See Resources for diagrams.)
Connect the outputs to your mixer using the RCA cables included with your Serato setup. Left and right deck line outputs connect to their respective (left and right) line inputs on your mixer. Set your mixer to 'Line' level.
Connect your 'PHONO' inputs on your mixer to the left/right respective 'THRU' outputs on your interface. Using 'THRU' allows you to switch from Serato Scratch Live to your own CDs at the flip of a mixer switch.
Connect the interface directly to your computer using the provided USB cable. Do not plug it into a USB Hub or splitter.
