Cheers folks. I already have a selection of mics, including some decent condensers (large and small diaphragm.) I suppose what puzzles me is how you use either a digital or analogue mixer to get the signals into some sort of software so you can play about with it. I've got three or four analogue mixers, and I'm looking at some of the Yamaha digital jobs, but I'm not sure why! Keep the ideas coming, this is really helpful.
