    Mixer replacement

    I ended up buying the Scarlett 8i6. I have just set it up and it works very well. The audio quality is also a lot better now when I can avoid routing it through my monitors HDMI-port.

    Mixer replacement

    I have looked at the Focusrite Control software used to mix inputs and outputs and it seems works just the way I want it to. I will probably never use more than one or maybe two microphones. I will instead mostly connect externally powered stereo sources. If I enable phantom power for input 1-4, will I be able to use the other three inputs as line in? Also, I have not been able to find the mixing control software for the Behringer but I expect it to work similarly to the Scarlett and without requiring some recording software, or am i wrong?

    Correct. It would be great if it had an extra pair of inputs as well in case I would like to plug in my phone or some other device. But that would just be a bonus.

    Mixer replacement

    The two sources marked PC are connected to the same machine. The image might not explain that well enough. That is why I am using the HDMI audio source as well as the 3.5mm output to get two independent physical volume dials for VoIP and music/games. I almost never use the EQ (and if I would like to, I could probably find a software solution), so an audio interface will probably be better. Does the audio interface present several audio devices in Windows so I can send different audio to different sources or how do they work?

    Mixer replacement

    I have been using a mixer to connect my PC to my headphones and speakers, but I am now looking to replace it because the headphone output recently started to only output on the left channel. My current setup looks something like this: Inputs: Mic --> Mixer (Ch 1) PC (VoIP) --> Mixer (Ch 3/4), connected through HDMI audio. Sounds ok, but not great. PC (Desktop) --> Mixer (Ch 5/6) Outputs: Mixer (FX send) --> PC (Mic input) Mixer (Main) --> Speakers Mixer (Phones) --> Headphones I would like to connect my Nintendo Switch to the new setup, which I cannot do at the moment because I am out of stereo inputs. I would also like to keep being able to mix my desktop audio into the microphone output if possible. Currently, I am using an AT2020 XLR microphone and DT880 pro 250 ohm headphones. I maybe want to change the microphone for something more directional in the future though. What would you recommend as a replacement for the mixer? It would be even better if I could get a DAC in there somewhere to replace the PC audio because the audio source is a bit noisy if I turn up the volume. Especially the VoIP audio routed through the HDMI audio source.
