the big decision is analogue mixer vs digital mixer, which in practice might boil down to analogue mixer + cheap (maybe built-in) soundcard vs nice more expensive soundcard (+ maybe a controller later on if necessary). fwiw, i went digital a while back and never looked back. if you're recording digitally, then monitoring digital "helps" as then everything doesn't lack a certain something coming back out of the box. of course if you're recording jams which involve live manipulation of a mixer, then that's different and might push you toward an analogue mixer or a control surface early on. the budget is $300 which doesn't give us too much to work with. how many channels of mixer would you need?

But it's been so = long since I did, I haven't the foggiest idea where to start again. My inst= inct is to pick up a budget analog mixer with USB audio functionality, but = I could also just buy an audio capture device and do all the mixing in soft= ware.
