Hi everyone, let me preface by saying I am inept when it comes to this stuff. I have an Echo Audiofire 12 interface, and a fully mic'd drum kit. Main question is do I need a mixer to control the levels properly or can the interface and some software do the job? I noticed the interface uses 1/4 for all the inputs, if I can indeed do a good job without a mixer would I just use XLR to 1/4 adapters? I do realize these are 1+1=2 questions and I appreciate the help. If using a mixer would be the best solution what mixer do you recommend that gives good sound that doesn't cost an arm and a leg (under $1000)? Thanks again.
