Hello, I purchased and evaluated the Pyle 4 channel mixer.
I returned it to Amazon today.
I personally can not recommend this mixer.
Maybe there was something wrong with the one I had.
It just was not performing like I feel it should have.
With the USB engaged, when I went to record to Audacity playing a mp3 with
windos media player, only the right channel was recorded from a stereo file.
However, the playback was played on both speakers.
I spent a few hours analyzing the problem with no results.
I am positive it was not the fault of Audacity.
I'm recieving the Pyle 8 channel on Thursday, so I will learn more about
this line of mixers.
Here are some other mixers I intend to check out.
I was really impressed with the Youtube videos.
Here they are below.

Interface.

This one seems to be great for podcasting.

This one may be more for a musician.
I believe thes models are plug and play, no drivers to install.
If you are a musician especially if you are a keyboard player with several
insturment to connect,
the Yamaha MG10XU USB mixer is the one I highly recommend.
Check out the spects on this magnificent machine.
The only issue, is it does require the Yamaha USB driver to be installed.
