I am retired an enjoying playing my guitar. I have purchased several pieces of equipment "thank God for pawn shops". I hope I will be able get help on running my equipment through my mixer.
Help will indeed be forthcoming but cannot function in a vacuum! "several pieces of equipment" tells us Jack!
List the gear you have bought together with make and model of mixer plus the basic specc' of the PC (mac?) .
Guitar? Solid electric? Have an amp? Acoustic? Using a microphone? Got one? What?
Dave.
I'll try to list what I have: TC Helicon vocalive3, Roland GR-55, Boss RC-300, behringer 1202 FX Mixer, Beatbuddy, Fender Mustang Digital Amp, Peavy Bass Amp, Mini Loud Acoustic Amp, JBL Speakers, Eric Clapton signature Fender Strat, Godin XLT, 1966 Epiphone 335, Reissue 1967 Epiphone Casino, Epiphone Viola Bass, 1966 Gibson J45, Taylor 814C, John Mayer Signature Martin OM28, Lowden F35 and number of different pedals that most guitar players have.

Ok, yes there are a gazillion ways to hook up most of that kit through a mixer, some of it can be routed through the FX send/rtn system. Electric guitars will need a pedal (can be "off" so long as it is not of the daft "true" bypass variety) to buffer the signal and go into a line input. Or you could get a DI box (but not a Behringer! Check out "Orchid Electronics")
No sign of a microphone? The acoustics are best captured via a mic and I would strongly suggest a Small Diaphragm Capacitor (aka condenser) mic, try to find one with an attenuator switch.
But having got all this gear running into the mixer where from there? Do you wish to record the result on a computer? If that is the case you will need an Audio Interface. That purchase stands study but one thing I notice? The TC box has MIDI ports so look for AIs so equipped. I know nothing of the TC vocal processor but am betting the MIDI control + PC + DAW could widen your horizons?
