Recording mix with DJM-800 and MacBook

Gentlemen, I have the following problem: I would like to record my mixes using a couple of CDJs 2000 and a DJM-800 mixer. I don't get how to record it with my current equipment. I use my MacBook Pro to record the mix. I thought I need an external soundcard so I've bought Native Instruments Audio 2 - it is small, compact and cheap. But it seems like it won't help me as I can't record anything with it. For recording purposes I've tried both Sound Forge and Audacity but I could get nothing. Sound Forge is the preferable software.

The question is the following: how do I record my mixes? Is there a cheap and safe way to do it? What equipment do I need?

Any help will be much appreciated, thank you! ;)

The audio 2 is not suitable for recording, it is a two-channel out / 0 channel in sound card. You can plug the rec out output on the djm 800 to the mic/line input on the mac with a rca to p2 stereo cable and record using audacity or similar software. BEWARE! you should check out if your mac input supports line level audio. If it supports only 'mic level' audio input your signal will be too hot and will result on distorted recording and other problems, so I won't recommend it at all. The best option is to buy a audiocard with "line level" inputs.
