The signal from a mixer, or from a CD player is about 1000 x more powerful than a microphone signal. If you are plugging the mixer (or CD player) into a microphone input it is unlikely to work well.

"320 kbps VBR means that the highest bit rate is being used for the entire file)." Sorry - a typo. Should have been: The highest quality MP3 is 320 kbps CBR (320 kbps is the highest bit rate in the MP3 format, so 320 kbps means that the highest bit rate is being used for the entire file)....
