I think I finally have all the wires that I need - now to either invest in zip-ties or electrical tape! Going for 6 feet wires for every one was a bit of an overkill :) In all, I'm very happy with the decision I made. I've managed to get the unit to record the USB output, though I can't mix in the audio from the USB input... I'm getting around that by running a cable from the computer's headphone out in to one of the open channels. Last night I got the last bit of cabling I needed to connect my cellphone in to the mixer - that was a last minute addition to what I needed to be able to accomplish and I'm still tweaking the settings. What I have is a 3 conductor 1/8" to go in to the phone going out to 3 RCA jacks (usually used to connect a camcorder to a TV) and then I feed the speaker line to an open channel and the mic line to ... some place. Last night I got it working by plugging it in to the Aux Send. Unfortunately using that means I have to adjust the send volume back to the phone using a different knob and the main mix sliders don't change what is heard on the other side. Maybe use a headphone splitter on the phone out. If I had to change anything I might have invested more on the microphones I got... I got simple Alesis AM-1 mics and you have to crank them to make the meter move on the mixer. I'm also working on leveling things on the PC, the record volume seems to be a bit low compared to what I'm used to seeing in Audacity.
