I'm not sure that is 100% advisable.

Just get yourself a cheapy mixer for the time being.

I wouldn't go for that one, as it hasn't got any eq for the mic or line channels.

If you can afford it, or can save for a little while longer, have a look at this http://www.decks.co.uk/products/mixers/behringer/dx626

I use one of these as a back up and it is very well built.

You have 3 switchable channels, with top, mid and bottom on each channel and a separate mic channel, also with eq on it.

The bpm counter is a bit of a gadget and probably won't be needed though.

You don't need a mixer.

You need a good soundcard (I use Soundblaster), and a mini jack to photo lead!

Job done.

So how exactly were you planning on mixing anything using a mouse and a keyboard on one channel?

I don't think you've thought this through properly.
