Thanks Rob, I didn't know I would have to get an interface so soon. I was considering one a week ago for the near future but after I started to record using this Yamaha mixer I found out that I couldn't do it without recording the instrumental track I imported just for testing...onto my vocal track. So after asking on this forum I was told the news. I had a feeling it was something to do with my mixer. Luckily I have managed to afford this investment. I believe I have made the right decisions with what I ordered. I hope you get it right also.
