Hi
Can I ask if the compressor mentioned here would be best employed as an
input for 2 mikes to avoid clipping before going into a mixer, or to
compress/balance the signal coming out of the mixer before it goes into the
line in of the soundcard which will then be streamed. Perhaps both?
Thanks.

Okay Danny,
I am not sure what "affordable" means to you and how serious you are about
your broadcasting but here comes a couple of devices you might like to read
about:
Allen & Heath XB14 broadcast mixer
dbx 166xs Dual Compressor / Limiter / Gate

Hi. Am based in the UK and found lots on Amazon, but many of them were very
cheap (£15-ish) and seemed to be called microphone mixers.
I presume that they're not powerful enough to channel something as powerful
as a laptop or USB soundcard (hence the low price), so am trying to make
sure what the differences are and to ensure that I get an affordable product
which won't go to waste. I presumed there might be some people on here who
already use appropriate gear for broadcasting or DJ-ing and might therefore
be able to advise from first-hand experience or knowledge of how these
things work.
Cheers, Danny

Hi,
Have you tried google for "compact 4-channel mixer"?
You need to avoid a digital one since it can be hard to go around blindly.
Hth,

Broadcasting
Hi all. I'm looking to do some internet radio broadcasting and,
having found that broadcasting directly through my computer or
soundcard makes my microphone sound horrible (muffled, buzzing noise
behind vocals, popping when turned on/off, etc), I'm looking for a
suitable and accessible 4-channel mixer which I can use to channel my
soundcard and microphone. I'd also like to have the option of
plugging headphones into it so that I can hear the results of my work
as it happens, and features such as being able to use more than one
channel at once (such as talking over the start/end of a track) are
also very important. Unfortunately I'm very short of space, so I need
something which has good quality output but which is as compact as
possible. I know this is quite a specific set of requirements, but if
anyone knows of such a model which is accessible for use by someone
with total sight loss (no issues with seeing lights showing feedback
etc), I'd be grateful to hear details. I'd also appreciate advice on
any adaptors which I might need to help me plug 3.5 mm jacks and an XLR
microphone into such a machine, as this is my first time of exploring this
area of production.
Many thanks in advance for any help and advice, Danny
