Hi i'm looking at this: Amazon.com: Phonic Impact II 16 mixing console: Musical Instruments (not this EXACT one, it's on a different website and is the 8 channel version) and i want to know a few things before i buy it:
1. To connect it to my macbook pro would i be able to use (also is there a better way? considering there is no line in on my macbook, just a joint headphone and mic input) an alesis phonolink: Alesis Phonolink | Maplin to connect it through USB and then in to cubase/a DAW etc?
2. Will it be multitrack recording? baring in mind it will be going through the alesis phonolink if that affects it. e.g if I were to record a drum kit with 5 different mics, could i then go on to the DAW and add effects to the snare track alone? This is vital for me really, as i was going to buy a USB mixer but they rarely have multitrack recording and a good amount of inputs.
3. Would i be able to plug a guitar straight in to the mixer? e.g just a usual guitar lead straight from the guitar in to the mixer? i know this is not normally recommended but i don't really have any good quality amps.
Thanks.
