Think of the soundcards (analogue!) mixer as two mixers: one for playback and one for recording. One snitch with the recording-mixer: while several level controls for the various sources exist, most soundcards select one source and only record from that one. So its less like a mixer and more ĺike a patchbay with gain-control. Have fun, Arnold
