I'm new to recording ...very new. Should I purchase a mixer or use the mixer on cake walk? Got about 300 $ for a mixer, or I already have cake walk 9...
Thanks for the input.

You're going to need preamps to feed mics into your sound card. A mixer can supply those, plus give you additional versatility. However, once the tracks are recorded, you will use Cakewalk to do your mixing.ONEsnowRIDER said:I'm new to recording ...very new. Should I purchase a mixer or use the mixer on cake walk?

For $300 you can pick up a used digital mixer that can act as both a mixer and a control surface. I use a fostex vm200. It has motorized faders and adat i/o to mate up to my pc. Works like a charm. Beats mouse mixing any day.
