Thanks. This sounds interesting. What do you suggest for multiple inputs to a computer. I can get a hardware mixer, mix the inputs and put it in one or two sound cards but is there any hardware (other than adding sound cards <G>) that will let me get several inputs into the computer. I've got some Santa Cruz sound cards and an onboard CMI8738 chip. Each card has one line in but I haven't checked to see if I can make the other connections on the card to be line in.
