if you wanna do what you said above, id get an amp....
you only really need a mixer if you are sampling from records on a deck, then you connect the out from the mixer to the input in you soundcard, deck to mixer channel
but if you want to use it as an amp, then you gotta connect it to the output from your soundcard to one of the phono channels on the mixer, then you could run your speaker of it...
but i would get a real amp, mixers are just pre amp capable of only boosting the signal 0db

It's a big issue, it always depends on what gear you intend to use. For everything's a solution but yo have to get grips with the current reality, the way you want and can do things.

Yea p_1, that's the best way. Hands on. Good job...
OK I GUESS I WASNT BEING TOO SPECIFIC THE LAST TIME AROUND. WHAT IM REALLY LOOKING FOR IS A MIXER WITH A PRE-AMP SO I CAN USE THAT TO RECORD VOCALS. THATS THE TYPE OF MIXER IM LOOKING FOR. I CAME ACROSS THIS BABY ON ZZSOUNDS.
