By the way, if you decide to "upgrade" to a laptop, you may be forced into the USB decision. Most Windows laptops do not have stereo input connections.

There's nothing wrong with low-end sound equipment as long as you pay attention to what you're doing. The one shortcoming to your proposed system is going from analog volts to digits. I have no doubt the mixer will do a terrific job of delivering a good, crisp, clean level to your ratty, six year ol...

And if you really play your cards right, you can get tunnel/rain barrel effects as only pieces of it cancel. It's fun, but not effective if you're looking for a clean separation. By the way, it rarely works the other way, either. There are fully formed tools to create karaoke tracks from vocal prese...

That's called Vocal Isolation and I don't think anybody's been able to get that to work yet. The main problem is studios keep insisting on remixing music so each version sounds good, making the two instrumentals non-identical. In addition, many people try to do this trick with MP3 downloads and thos...

Audio (and video) production needs massive amounts of drive space to work, at minimum three or four times the size of the show, plus the actual operating system -- OS-X. That's ignoring any other applications and services you have working, like your internet connection. Once your system runs out of ...

Once you get it all working, the sound pathways may become unstable forcing you to use headphones rather than loudspeakers. You should plan for that.
