Well I was planning on getting an M-Audio M-Track for like my microphone and I will have a link to that below. But I found a smaller mixing board and I was wondering if they both do the same thing but the mixing board is more high tech. So anybody that knows about these things please let me know. Thanks.

So the Yamaha mixer is a lot better in the long run? That's what I want to figure out.
