I've been using a TASCAM DR-40 (sorry about the mistake in the title) for the last year to record my podcast, then I edit in audacity and post. I had been using two mics with it for better audio quality, but now I have been getting chances to talk with more than one person and really don't like to use the internal mics for sound since I'm not great at editing background noise.
I know that I need a mixer if I want to use more than 2 mics, but I don't know anything about them. Can I use any kind of mixer, does the mixer need to have a USB port and if not, is there a way to make the two work compatible?
A buddy of mine has a MODEL FP42 Stereo mixer he said I can use, but I have no idea if it's compatible.
Do I just need to buy new equipment? I'm on a really tight budget, but someone recommended the MACKIE 1202VLZ4. Is that the way to go? I'd like a three or four mic set-up. It doesn't have to be anything really fancy, just reliable.
Sorry about all the questions, I'm learning as I go. And thanks.
