Practice mixer

Hi guys,

I have an Alesis crimson ii, and use a Behringer 250watt amp. I have a small practice room in the garage and currently just using my smartphone to play backing tracks through, I am absolutely useless when it comes to technology -so do I need a mixer? It's just me drummin away so i wouldn't want anything too fancy but i think it could all sound better?
 

Line-in before mic preamp on some mixers

Forums

I noticed that many mixers such as the Behringer hard wire their line inputs (without even a switch) in parallel with the mic input to the mic preamps. Yes, they do have a drop resistor but that's all. My concern is that the signal is being dropped and then amplified back up - thus adding another stage and more noise.

Connecting two mixers help!

I have a 32 channel analog Behringer . I want to connect another recording mixer To the 32 channel. This sub mixer is to be connected to my desktop via usb. Is this possible? I am finding it hard to mono out from my live mixer to use live band and church service for our website because the sound is terrible. I want a separate audio track that is manageable and another channel for video.

My confusion with Mixer and Interface

Here's a design for the university project.
And I wanted to know do I make a connection to the interface and Mixer

Interface is Focusrite 18i20

Mixer Behringer Wing 48 channel mixer.

It's a rookie question.
But what's the best possible solution to it.

Does the PC type matter too?

Does a recording studio require a Mixer ?

I wanted to know if the Focusrite 18I20 will be sufficient for Recording.

Main goal Is to setup a Semi Professional Studio.

Would there be a Way to work around not getting a Mixer?

It would also be how my Microphones I need.
The Maximum I would need is Recording a Drum Kit.

Thanks again!
Regards Norman!
