If I may attempt to simplify everything thats been said. On most modern interface you should be able to get enough gain for a dynamic mic. Yes with a Condenser mic you won’t need as much gain. Also in reaper You can use item volume to turn up or down the volume of the individual item, this is found in the Item properties dialog. (This is the equivalent to clip gain in pro tools ) (In Reaper they are called items what pro tools calls clips.) In reaper there are also volume plug ins that work similarly to how the trim plug in works in pro tools. As for compressor, just use the stock ReaComp or the stock Pro Tools compressor for now. Don’t worry about styles and types of compressors until you are more comfortable with compressors and you know what a compressor does. Stock compressors are made to work reasonably well in pretty much any situation. Lastly in my opinion, ditch the mixer and get an inexpensive audio interface like the Behringer 404HD. Interfaces are a much simpler affair and less knobs to get lost in like a mixer. I recommend the 404HD as its has a lot of physical controls and doesn’t rely on software to do certain things. The 202HD and the 204HD are also good if you don’t need as many inputs and the 1820 is great if you need more inputs.
