What does a Mixer do?  \nNo matter how sophisticated or expensive, all mixers carryout the same basic function-to blend and control the volume of a number of input signals, add effects and processing where required and route the resulting mix to the appropriate destination, which could be power amplifiers, the tracks of a recording device-or both. A mixer is the nerve centre of these sources, and therefore the most vital part of your audio system.  \nB. Guidelines in Choosing a Mixer  \nAudio mixers come in many different sizes and at all price levels, so it’s little wonder that people are confused as to what type is actually needed for the job in hand. However there are several questions you can to ask yourself that will help you narrow your search to the most appropriate models.  \n• What am I going to be using the mixer for- i.e. multitrack recording, live PA work or both?  \n• What is my budget?  \n• How many sound sources do I have? As a guideline your mixer needs to have at least as many inputs as sound sources.
