if you're recording, best to get/rent a mixer. i dunno if windows can record from more than one source at a time

RE: 3 microphones. by Jarrod on 03-17-2007 at 10:30 PM

will that put it in 3 different aduio chanels on my computer?
if i need to i can just use 2 programs with different audio sources, can't i?

Yeah, it would be easier and better to use a mixer.. You can pick up a good cheap one for about £40 here...

no, a mixer takes all the inputs from wherever, and puts them all into one signal, with teb/bass and whatnot for each input
