I am looking for something for my home studio to go from my from my mixer to and interface, then interface to computer to improve my voice sound?

Going to a computer suggests you're using a DAW (recording software or Digital Audio Workstation) which also means you should have an EQ within your software. If there is no EQ VST to be had inside your software, then yes. This CAN help. Trash in is trash out though. And always will be. If you are using the EQ to erase the effects of a sub par mic, bad mic technique, or a number of other less than desirable factors you may face, you may not be wow'ed with ANY rack EQ. Another tip for using ANY effect that shapes tone though is: Always cut and never boost. In this instance the DEQ1024 has 3 settings: +/- 6; +/- 12; and -24. If you stick to the "Always cut rule" you'll do just fine using the -24 setting. Just crank all the sliders full up, and start attenuating (cutting) the frequencies that are causing you problems. Another cool little toy the unit has is the Stereo Width... It will raise volume so pay attention to that, but if you ever decide to use it as an outboard effect to EQ a bus of instruments, you can widen or narrow the stereo field :) Oh, it also has pads (volume cuts) on the I/O panel. Handy for hot lines/mics. The only way this EQ will hurt your vox is if you don't know how to use it. (Edit - I was the one who wrote the Entry Level review... I bought it back in Jan 2010 when I was trying to record on a Tascam DP02-CF. I was running this EQ along with a reverb, Pre Recorder, to track everything. Well, at least before I figured out FX Loops. Then I switched/upgraded to a DAW, Reaper, and I rarely use the rack EQ. It resides between my Main Mix Outs and my Crossover for live use. You may notice, as you go along, that your EQ adjustments get smaller and smaller as you get more experience.) Happy EQ'ing (takes claw hammer to head)

You're going to want an interface as others have said. My setup is Mic -> XLR -> Cloudlifter single channel -> XLR -> DBX 286s -> Line out with 1/4" jack -> Line in 3 of my Scarlett 6i6. Just to let you know, as it stands right now WDM doesn't pick up Scarlett mix's signal as input 1, so only ASIO drivers with software like Ableton Live will detect (or allow you to select) the third line in signal. That means if you're doing live audio, you're currently buggered. However, as I contacted Focusrite on this, they said they're going to be rolling out a patch to deal with this problem.Hope that helps! You're going to want an interface as others have said.

run it through a splitter, OR get an external mixer with multiple outs. thx!

Yes...I believe you can do this but I haven't used it like this. The user manual is pretty thorough, and I would highly suggest you take a look at it. Here's the link to download it...http://www.behringer.com/assets/Q1202USB_Q1002USB_Q802USB_Q502USB_M_EN.pdf

You are not able to directly connect this to your computer, this is an analog audio device. The 48V power supply drive the microphone. The output can connect to a mixer or directly in an audio interface microphone input. If you are planning to record or play live sound, you need at least an audio interface. Try Icon and Focusrite. They are providing nice products. ICON even support at least one extra virtual output. You may also need audio analyse software, like Cubase, Samplitude, Adobe Adition, and Ableton Live. Good luck. But, if you don't want to go that professional, try a dynamic microphone.Or USB microphone. BLUE has a very nice USB microphone product.

Yes, although if you want clearer sounds I recommend a Behringer mixer also. It will filter the sounds of the guitar, and the vocals will be crisp. Instead of just recording raw through the microphones, but for starters it would do the job.

Fist, download user guide PDF from Google. U can use a usb hub (make sure it uses a power supply) to extend the inputs to PC. Use the accompanying "ignite" software to integrate with your DAW.

No. This is not an audio interface. It's made to control some festures of your Daw without using your mouse/keyboard

Use an internal Sound card to interface to your DAW or for a 3.5mm jack use a monitoring control to manage your flow like PreSonus Monitor Station Studio Control Center or the one that I personally have and like is the Samson C-control Control Room Matrix which is configurable to what ever setup you have. Depending on your desire you may need the Samson C-que8 4-Channel Headphone Amplifier, but both is cheaper than the Presonus setup (even though I have mostly PreSonus shop).

You need an audio interface with Phanthom power to connect this Microphone to your computer

That's all up to your software. The Akai is just an interface to get your sound to your computer.

I believe all you have to do is going to CNET.com and download free audacity software and install it in your computer and follow theinstruction in your manual.

That's what it is built for! Unlimited audio and MIDI tracks. You *will* need to purchase a separate audio interface if your computer doesn't have say 1/4" and XLR audio inputs, but you can pick one up for a couple hundred bucks here on Amazon if need be.

I use the Behringer QX1002 playback source to listen back through the mixer. Not sure if on the computer one is disabled to avoid feedback or how to hear both through PC speakers. You can hear both through Mixer though. Go to computer sound mixer and change playback source to Behringer. Also push the appropriate buttons for FX to control room, and USB/2TR.

You will need some kind of audio software. This is not a standalone hardware piece you can simply plug into a mixer, it is an audio interface that must be plugged into a computer.

While anything is possible, you'll need some adapters for PC input or output. There is a phones output and a monitor output which could be adapted into a usual line-in on a PC, but there are no midi inputs. Most of the input channels have line-level inputs in 1/4" phono format, so almost any audio source could be mixed in here. Its not the best thing for DJ-style mixing, however: there is only a single (stereo) output bus, so no cross-fading here.

There is an XLR version (connect to computer via audio interface), and a USB version, connect directly to the computer. Based on how you are going to use it, I highly recommend the XLR version. Pick up a Focusrite Scarlet 2i2, a good mike cable and mic stand all for around $300, (new)-- you'll be very happy with the results!
