I mainly mix mp3 files, but also need two microphones and one aux input (to plug in the computer of the second person that also prepared part of the music).
I consider two options :
  1. Buy an external mixer like Behringer Xenyx Q802USB or Yamaha AG06. Mixing is done by hardware. I do not process the external sources in Mixxx, and I have the benefit of simplicity and of no-latency.
  2. Buy a USB audio interface with 4 inputs like Behringer UMC404HD or Steinberg UR242. Mixing is done by Mixxx.
I would love some help assessing the following issues before making expenses :
  • Pros :
    1. I can apply effects on the external inputs, especially the mics
    2. I control all the mixing levels on the computer, single interface/controller
    3. Recordings do include the mics (Yamaha AG06 seem to allow this too with the loopback switch. Do others ?)
  • Cons :
    1. Audio quality — would there be an audible difference due to the additional A2D conversion of mics/aux
    2. Latency — is it so bad that the people will hear me speaking and then hear me through the speaker system ?
    3. Resource usage — am I going to exhaust my system ? What is the critical resource : CPU/RAM/USB ? What hammers them the most : effects / number of channels / high sample rate / resampling ?

Mixing in mixcraft 8Would you recommend me not going the route #2 ?
I read in the manual that mics over USB-sound-adapters are to be avoided, but there isn't anything else (you can't plug a PCI board in a laptop), is there ?
Would you recommend me some hardware better than others ?
Are some USB interfaces much better than others in terms of latency (Behringer/Scarlett/Steinberg…) ? [I read your recommendation towards Roland Rubix 24, I'd need a 44, bulkier than the UR242]
Is the USB throughput a bottleneck ? (I only found M-Audio M-Track 8x4M to have USB-C)

Mixing In Mixcraft 8

Thank you for any recommendation of hardware/setup for my case.

Four Decks

Drop a song onto a deck in Mixxx to start playing right away. Keep your eye on beats and cue points with a scratchable, scrolling waveform together with a whole-song overview waveform for quick seeking.

Pitch and Key Control
Change the tempo of songs without changing their pitch with keylock, or change the pitch without breaking sync so your songs play in harmony. Temporarily nudge the tempo faster or slower for manual beatmatching, with smooth changes in pitch just like vinyl.

Beat Looping
Need to extend your mix while you bring in the next track? Instantly loop a 4, 8, or 16 beat segment with ease.

Jam with drummers of every style.Drummer, the virtual session player created using the industry’s top session drummers and recording engineers, features 28 beat‑making drummers and three percussionists. Why does garageband take so long to download fortnite.

Master Sync
Engage master sync on your decks and they'll stay locked in time even if you change speed. Construct remixes on the fly with multiple tracks and loops without losing control.

Hotcues
Set hotcues to mark places in tracks. Remix and mash up tracks with accurate, rapid-fire hotcue triggering.

Beat Rolls and Censor
Play with rhythm by triggering short loops and reverse-playback effects. The track stays in time so you don't miss a beat.

Quantization
Mark and activate cue points and loops exactly on beat every time.

Broad Format Support
Compatible with music files in lossless FLAC, WAV, and AIFF formats as well as lossy MP3, M4A/AAC, Ogg Vorbis, and Opus formats.

EQ and Crossfader Control
Choose between multiple equalizers and isolators with adjustable shelves. Crossfader curve control lets you deliver quick cuts or long, smooth crossfades.

Sampler Decks

Load up to 64 sampler decks full of sounds to layer over your mix.

Effects Chains

Link up to three effects in a chain for a unique twist on your mix. Fine tune your sound by tweaking each parameter individually. Customize your workflow by assigning different parameters to adjust with the effect's metaknob. Focus different effects from a controller for flexible control of effect chains, whether your controller has a full effects section or a single knob.

Mixxx plays nice with a variety of hardware without artificial restrictions or exclusive vendor lock-ins. Use whatever gear you want to build your unique setup.
