What converters are you using?

How many channels do you need?
You may want to get with the member Deepwater on some pricing for a Soundcraft.

i dunno all im gunna plug in it is a preamp for now and hook it up to my computer.

Why use a mixer then?
Just run your preamp to the line in on the computers soundcard.
What preamp do you have?

 

[darc mind]

Behringer VX2000

what audio interface do you have?

 

[darc mind]

i use a sound card audio interface...a Creative sound card

 

[Nik6teen]

well, a creative card only really has one input, so you 'could' just plug your preamp straight into the card via the line in. A mixer would only come into play if you want to record like a drum kit...or multiple in's at the same time....even then, they would just be bounced to the one 'in' that your creative card offers. so i guess a good question would be, what are your intentions with the mixer?

mackie 1202vlz pro, line in on the sound card.......into whatever program you are using. I used this with cool edit pro, did a great job.
