Armando, many of the USB mixers I have heard of don't get great reviews. You 
may be better with a standard studio mixer with its output connected to a USB 
sound card.

Hi,

With one jack for everything, particularly if that includes inputs and
outputs, then analogue is not for you.

Others will no more regarding usb devices.

In the circumstances, perhaps you should look at the following:

iSTUDIO iS202

iPad Docking Station with Audio, Video and Midi Connectivity

.Complete and high-quality Music Studio for Apple iPad (3rd generation),
iPad 2 and iPad
.Connect your microphones, instruments and audio sources to virtually any
audio/MIDI app
.Optional battery operation for mobile applications (batteries not included)
.Attach to any standard mic, music or drum stand via mounting bracket
(P16-MB not included)
.Core Audio/MIDI compatible for use with any iOS App
.Versatile I/O functionality with adjustable headphone output and direct
monitoring control

New from BEHRINGER, the iSTUDIO iPad Docking Station is the perfect music
production tool for both home studio and live recording. So much more than
just a convenient way to recharge your iPad,

iSTUDIO lets you create, produce and perform music using your favorite audio
gear and musical instruments. iSTUDIO also includes two phantom-powered
Mic/Line inputs (one switchable for Hi-Z

inputs such as electric guitar or bass, no DI required), so you can use
studio-grade condenser mics for stunningly professional results.

Flexible Functionality

iSTUDIO makes it easy to unleash your creative spirit, giving you access to
iPad's powerful internal processor, touch-screen interface and vast array of
available apps. With the iSTUDIO and your

iPad, you can record, perform, or craft and create music in virtually any
situation or location. A convenient onboard MIDI USB interface allows the
transfer of MIDI data to and from your iPad for even

more creative possibilities. iSTUDIO bridges the gap between your
instruments and professional audio devices, creating a dynamically creative
environment that will continue to grow as even more

apps become available.

Vitally Versatile

The iSTUDIO features two combination XLR - 1/4 inputs, each with its own
Gain control and switchable phantom power for use with condenser
microphones. These inputs will accept analog

signals from virtually any piece of audio gear including amps, mixers and
external preamps. A guitar or electric bass can be connected directly to the
iSTUDIO thanks to the built-in Hi-Z switch,

enabling performers to play, perform and record straight into amplifier- and
FX-modeling apps. We've also included a stereo Aux Input, allowing you to
connect a wide range of line-level sources,

even a turntable perfect for DJs or for archiving your precious vinyl
collection.

Recording has Never Been Easier

In the old days when you wanted to record the band, you needed lots of gear
and cables, or you had to spend gobs of money renting studio time. iSTUDIO
takes all of the hassle out of recording,

letting you concentrate on your performance and creativity. Just connect
your mixer's outputs to iSTUDIO, open your favorite recording app and hit
the button, nothing is easier. You can also use

iSTUDIO's MIDI capability to control your external keyboards, samplers, drum
machines and sound modules.

We've Got Connections

iStudio provides balanced stereo 1/4 TRS outputs for connecting to your
studio monitors, PA systems and much more. Musicians can monitor tracks via
dual independently controllable phones

outputs, equipped with our adjustable direct monitoring controls for the
ideal balance between incoming and playback signals. Two footswitch
connectors are available for application-defined remote

control of input selection and an expression pedal. If video is part of your
production, iSTUDIO's RCA composite connector works with all standard video
projectors, as well as most television and

computer monitors.

Road-Ready and Rugged

When it comes to rugged reliability, BEHRINGER is an industry leader.
Because your reputation, as well as ours depends on it, quality control is
the first thing we build into each and every new

product. As a result, the iSTUDIO is designed to withstand the rigors of the
road and provide dependable performance for many years to come, and we back
it with a comprehensive warranty

program.

A+ Value

Value is defined as the point where price, features and dependability meet.
Providing exceptional value to our customers is goal #1 at
BEHRINGER. Compare us to the competition and we think you'll choose
BEHRINGER.
