It is a pretty easy connection - just connect the right and left RCA "tape outputs" to the computer audio input. I'm not sure what you are using for a computer audio interface, but just connect the "tape outputs" to the line inputs on your interface or I/O.

On stereo sources into the analog board, turn the individual input channel pan control all the way left for the left input and all the way right for the right.
 
I have a project studio with 8 I/O, ProTools, Sonar, etc, and a Mackie 24x8x2 analog board. I used to use the board for mixes, but didn't have a proper monitor setup or enough knowledge of mixing, so I started mixing in the box (inside PT). Now I have revamped my studio and have 24 I/O with proper monitoring and want to mix analog on the board again. The last time I tried, taking the master outs from my mixer into the computer gave a weird sound, but that was a few years ago and maybe I did something wrong. What is the best way to get a stereo mix from my analog mixer onto the computer without losing quality?
