Alvaro Asked: Does a numark mixtrack (non-pro) work with a behringer external soundcard?
I have a numark mixtrack and am looking to dj, but i need and external soundcard. Im a bit of a cheapskate so i found the cheap Behringer U-CONTROL UCA202 USB-Audio Interface but i'm a little scared that it won't work. please reassure me.

I've just invested in a new interface recently, and it's astonishing how much value you get for your money these days compared to just a couple of years ago. For what you're looking at, $300 sounds about right.
I've not used any Tascam products for many years but I don't suppose they build a reliable reputation for selling garbage. You can plug that one straight into your computer via USB and it will be a de facto sound card / interface. You don't need to worry about getting a sound card and a mixer – this one seems to do the job of both.
The only concern is that it's designed to be rack mounted. If you have plenty of space, no problem. But just be aware that it will be bulkier than your traditional interface.
Microphones – It's something I'm just learning about myself. No practical knowledge or realistic advice to give. One thing I do know is that this side of recording music shouldn't be underestimated. If you need info on monitors, headphones and software, feel free to ask.
Is home recording for you? People generally go in one of two ways.
They either give up after a fortnight because they don't have the time, they can't see the value in it or it becomes too much like hard work. Or they become completely hooked. You might dream about the type of music you want to produce. It's beautiful, satisfying and frustrating in equal measures. There's only one way to find out.
