What hardware do I need for recording and live mixing? I need a
USB interface to connect 2 mics, a midi keyboard, and an ipod to
a computer, for both live mixing and recording. Hope? I have: a
mac (desktop and laptop), two mics, a midi keyboard, a piano,
and a singer. I want a way to connect all that to my computer
for recording, and (ideally) for live performance as well. What
software and hardware am I missing?<br> <br> For recording, one
track at a time is fine. My guess is I need something like <a
href="">these USB interfaces</a>. And for live performance, I
heard that <a href="">Apple's Mainstage app</a> was good. Garage
band can probably handle my recording needs.<br> <br> <a
href="">This</a> previous question was helpful, but what's the
difference between a $30 and a $500 USB audio interface? Will I
notice?<br> <br
