Welcome to mixersetup.com. This is a site dedicated to providing information on using your PC as a recording workstation. We believe that the centerpiece of PC recording is the mixing board. Over the next few months we will be showcasing the various workstation designs we've used in our podcast and music recording studio.
In the meantime, I'm going to recommend the Behringer Xenyx 802 Mixex to start out with. The Behringer Xenyx is an affordable 8-input mixing console with 2 mic preamps, 6 line inputs, and effects send and return. For most podcasting applications, it may seem like overkill but this board gives you plenty of room to expand. In the near future, I'll be adding diagrams for making the connections to your PC.
