Anyone know of a way i can easily switch between my XLR mic and my headset mic on a click of a button?

There may be several ways.  This may depend a lot on what you have for a setup.  What do you have for a setup?

 You'd probably have to hook both the headset mic and the XLR mic into an audio interface and then use the audio interface to switch the source. What kind of headset do you have?

Wasn’t what I was looking for, but it’s not unuseful.  So the mixer does the ADC for the xlr mic and the headphones themselves do the ADC for the headphone mic?  So you have to do the switching on the digital side because one of the devices can only be accessed on the digital side.  If they were both accessible when the data is analog this would be super easy.  Assuming this is correct the mixer goes into one input mini jack on the back of the computer, and the headset mic goes into another.  You want to switch the source with a single physical button.  I would think a macro program is what you are looking for.  You do a macro of the switching process and then bind it to a button.
