Hello,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 :
- 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.
 - Buy a USB audio interface with 4 inputs like Behringer UMC404HD or Steinberg UR242. Mixing is done by Mixxx.
 
- Pros :
- I can apply effects on the external inputs, especially the mics
 - I control all the mixing levels on the computer, single interface/controller
 - Recordings do include the mics (Yamaha AG06 seem to allow this too with the loopback switch. Do others ?)
 
 - Cons :
- Audio quality — would there be an audible difference due to the additional A2D conversion of mics/aux
 - Latency — is it so bad that the people will hear me speaking and then hear me through the speaker system ?
 - 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 ?
 
 
Would 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)
