Help with Computer Recording

[LessIsMore]

I just bought a decent amount of recording equipment and i am trying to figure out how to get it all up and running. I bought a ECHO MIAMIDI DIGITAL AUDIO AND MIDI CARD to plug into my computer, and a BEHRINGER EURORACK UB1222FX-PRO MIXER. I am using Cakewalk Music Creator, and when i plug my mixer into the soundcard there is a bad delay problem. I will say something into the mic, and half a second later it will come through my computer speakers and it echoes. Can anyone tell me what I may be doing wrong? thanks!

hmmmm not to sure, are you recording it and then puttin echo on it or issit live???

Check for live, Mixer!!!!! tweak around with the delay bit

check for recorded, after uve put echo on it, try not to use the fader, cus that causes alot of delay mock ups!!!(happens to me) but other then that id suggest gettin som proffesional advice mate
