Help Setting Up Studio

What's up.

I am in need of advice in setting up my equipment so it works well with Sonar 3.

Here's what I have:

Sonar 3 Producer Edition
Delta 1010 soundcard
Mackie 1202VLZ Pro mixer
Neumann TLM103 Mic
Mackie HR824 speakers


How I want it setup:

I would like to use my mixer mainly as a preamp for my mic, sending that into the soundcard. Then I would like to send the soundcard output back into the mixer so I can control the volume of my speakers with the mixer.
I also need to have input monitoring setup without creating a feedback loop.

I'm still relatively new to all this, and all of these inputs and settings have my head spinning.

Thanks for your time,

A1MixMan

Your signal chain could be,
Mic -> Mackie mic Pre 1 via XLR cable -> Main out L -> Delta 1010 input 1 -> COMPUTER -> Delta 1010 output 1 -> Mackie line in 2.

When tracking with a mic, turn off your monitors and use headphones. That should eliminate feedback loop. Input monitoring is a setting in Sonar, which you should turn on if you wanna use it.

hope this helped more than my first post.:)
