currently im using a 6 bus analog mixer for my recordings and im typically using the premamp of that mixer for my microphones. i was lookin at some small standalone mic preamps by ART and some other companies. the price range is not that bad, most of em are under 100$. which is very reasonable for me, but before buying a thing like that id like to know that if i really need that or not.

i basically use my mixer just coonect all the instruments i play, monitoring and the pre amp section. im using a Audiophile 2496 sound card which doesnt have multiple inputs and i dun record live drums. so my question is, should i buy a preamp, and remove my mixer or should i use both together? or do i really need to buy that preamp?
 
another piece of information that would help is if you are currently happy with the sound you are getting. If you are happy, then no need to change.
