Sound guys: In the market for a certain type of mixer
Posted on 9/1/22 at 7:25 am

My level of expertise is about a 3 on a scale from 1-10. I need a mixer that I can plug 2 separate sound sources to (example: 1 XLR mic + YouTube audio from PC) and record both simultaneously (like karaoke) in Adobe Audition on 2 separate tracks on my PC and let Audition see each source as a separate hardware item (in "Channel Mapping"). Trying to determine what you call this type of mixer.
My goal is to record a podcast with incoming calls from Google Voice on my PC + me on my Mic but put them on 2 different tracks in Adobe Audition. A Rode RODECaster Pro would probably work but it's a budget buster. Any other ideas for approx $100? Used is OK.
Not sure if I'm clear but that's all I got. Thanks in advance.

4 channel digital mixer with USB output. You should be able to find something on amazon for less that $100 new.

I'm ok with Audacity (instead of Audition) but I still don't see how to put each source on a separate track. In my case: GoogleVoice from web browser on Track #1 and my mic (either XLR or USB) on Track #2.

So maybe a couple of digital recorders and upload the tracks to the computer separately and mix them there?

Zoom podtrak is the droid you seek. 4 channel or 8 channel available. Did podcast with 3 live mics and Google voice call in. Records on SD card on separate channels.

1. Record both inputs (audio from PC + XLR Mic) directly to Adobe Audition on my PC, with each input on its separate track.
2. Record each input (audio from PC + XLR Mic) separately on my Tascam DR-40X. The Tascam can put each input on a separate track (one on L, the other on R). However, the input from the PC has major feedback/noise. The Mic is ok.
Because of the feedback, I'm thinking about sending both inputs (audio from PC + XLR Mic) to a new mixer/interface and then sending the mixer output (by USB) back to Adobe Audition on my PC. Here's my main concern: Will Adobe Audition (or any other recording app like Audacity) recognize both of the 2 inputs from the mixer as separate and distinct inputs so I can tell Audition where to put them? Does this make sense? What am I missing?

Do you need an actual mixer? Or just a USB audio interface?
I use an Arturia MiniFuse 2 to record two channels simultaneously (guitar/bass or guitar/vocals).
Here's a list of 2-channel audio interfaces from Sweetwater.

Yeah. It sounds like he would need an audio interface rather than a mixer.
The holdup would be the audio coming from the PC. Most editing programs, especially Audacity) don't play nice when trying to combine multiple input types (i.e.- Windows audio, USB interfaces, etc.). It's one or the other. If the PC audio can be output into the audio interface it would just be a matter of selecting the proper inputs on the editor.
I've been a huge Presonus fanboy and I've been intrigued about the Revelator Interface. Looks like it would do everything you would want including pulling the audio from the PC. Sweetwater is also running a sale on them right now.
