Using an external mixing desk with Music Maker?

Hello everybody,

I'm currently trying to get into recording music and am looking for software that would suit my needs. I've seen some very good offers for the 2013 version of Music Maker, which is why I'd like to ask you guys for some help on a technical question. I'm sure you'll notice I'm not at all versed in this subject and don't really know my way around recording, so I apologize for any stupid questions.
I bought an external mixing desk a while ago (a QX1002 from Behringer) that I wanted to use for my recording. So far I had just planned to do my recording work by plugging all the instruments/microphone into the external mixing desk and connecting the desk to my PC via USB. At least that's the way I was taught to do it.

Is there any way to know if Music Maker (2013) would be compatible with my external mixing desks for audio input? Is that perhaps such a common thing for audio software in general that I shouldn't even be asking that question? Or is it only possible to connect instruments/microphones with Music Maker one at a time via USB and record everything seperately?

Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello my friend, let me tell you, I have the Music Maker 2014 Premium and a little mixer QX12023 Behringer, and you can use it with no poblems via USB, you will be able to record many instruments at the same time using the mixer. I recommend you to use balanced wiring to avoid noises.

And the most important thing, you will need a powerfull CPU at least Intel icore 5 because the software is very complex and take a lot of resources to run, specially when you are recording MIDI instruments and editing.
