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

topc???? son??? you my daddy??? hahaha! just playin' formant! yo what you mean though?

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.

YO IT ALL DEPENDS ON UR USE I GOT A Yamaha MG16/4 16-Input 4-Bus Mixer, ok i use the mixer to kinda give my Mbox more ins and as an extra preamp for my mics. depending what u got u can do a different of things, for exmple iy u got an mpc1000 but only have i set of ins on ur pc ucan use a mixer to hand eq every diffent channel and then send the final product, feel me it all on what other stuff u got.
