Thanks Ron,


I have located the more recent Xenyx 1204, which seems to fit the bill
very well.


You'll also need a bunch of 3.5mm to 1/4" adapters, in various combinations
of stereo and mono, and a couple for RCA as well.


Then you'll find you get enormous AC hum when you connect to your computer,
owing to a ground loop. Put a Radio Shack ground loop isolator in that line
(cat 270-054). I keep a bunch of them around to isolate every different thing
that's plugged in on AC mains.


Is that true even if I utilize the USB link into my Notebook?

Oh, and finally some brush-on Deoxit, to keep the adapters working. I get mine

A tiny bottle lasts forever. It fixes everything, from battery charger terminals
to audio connectors to mains plugs on high current devices that get hot (plug in
and out until the contacts come out clean).

Thanks, I will check this out.
