In-put to Track 1 of Mackie DFX-6 channel mixer.

3. Mackie DFX-6 channel mixer- Main out-put (L/R) (2 Mic cables) connected to in-put mic 1Left and mic 2 Right of Sonar External USB Sound Card

Are you using any type of power conditioner? I ask because you didn't mention one in what you are running, if not you should. The ac voltage from the wires and radio freqs in the air all can produce a humming. Start with a good conditioner, and quality wires from mixer to soundcard and mics etc. Hope this helps

Does your sound card have line inputs ?? If so use these and not the mic inputs on the sound card , the Mic inputs are for mics not the line level output from your mixer .....
