I was told going through a mixer or pre-amp was the best bet. How does this look?

Also what adapter do I need to plug it straight in to my PB?

what kind of input does it have? probably 1/8 which means you need a 1/4>1/8 converter. and you only need a mixer if you are gonna record multiple tracks simultanesouly

mixers are expensive as balls. i saw a 100 channel digital mixer at a shane & shane concert. the sound guy said it cost $25000, and that was the lower model of that type.

as for the 1/4" F -> 1/8" M adapter, you can pick one up at radioshack for $3

If you don't need all those inputs get an ART Tube Mp or Presonus blue tube. Much better quality for not that much more(esp. on ebay). The tube in these preamps really helps to warm up the signal. I would stay away from the cheap behringer stuff.

yeah I pretty much just need something I can plug my guitar or piano in to. All I Want is to br able to record playing and singing at te same time. Can I do that with the ones you suggested?
