Pulling my hair out over high-pitched consistent noise...

Hi all!

I've spent hours upon hours trying to figure out this problem before breaking down and signing up so I could start my own "please help me" thread.. facepalm

I'll try to keep the back-story short and concise.. I'm just getting into recording, doing stuff on the cheap for now and I understand and accept that the sound won't be perfect..

Preamp help!

I have been using the Mbox 2 mini for a couple of years and I'm ready for a new preamp. question is how do i hook up a new preamp properly to Pro Tools without using the mbox pres. Ive been told to plugin to the LineIn/DI and keep the channel gain/volume down and it will bypass the mbox pres? others say that that isn't true, that whatever you plug into the mbox uses its pres.

decent mixer?

k,
i can't stand mixing by clicking the mouse and such,
i bought the Korg nancontrol2 but after plus 10 hours and trying to get it to work properly, i give up,
it there a half decent mixer, perhaps more like... analog then the nanokontrol that i could get?
