I'm interesting in getting a home mixer to add my spoken (not sung) audio to music tracks mixed on Adobe Audition for later broadcast on a radio station. I could do all this at the station but I figure doing it at home might be "fun". I do not need to use the mixer for music, just adding my voice, so I assume I don't need much (using a mixer is the only way I can figure out to get audio in to may PC with a real mic versu the PC mixes).
I actually did find my 20 year old Radio Shack mixer today and it still works. I have not bought a mic for the home set-up yet , so I can't test the mixer's sound quality. Am I correct in assuming that although the audio quality relies much on the quality of the mic and the amplification system utilized, the mixer's quality will have a lot to do with the overall audio quality? Additionally, am I correct in assuming that technology has changed so much in the past 20 years that modern inexpensive mixers will be much better than my old Radio Shack mixer ?
