k, so i have a bunch of friends around were i live that are just starting little recording things for their own sake and ive also seen a few things on here about monitoring problems.
here's how i used to have my setup:
mics>
mixer>
computer>
mixer>
amp>
speakers
this way, your mics can be heard through the headphones when recording via mixer, the playback from the computer can be heard in the heaphones by the mixer, and u dont have to deal with problems such as a delay of the playback (because of the computer processing the audio) and having to find your monitor button on the program (which... everyone seems to be having a hard time to find).
the only downside to doing this is, u cant hear any effects processing through the mic/instrument youre recording at that moment, youll only hear it in playback after its recorded.
and if u dont have a big enough mixer for this... theyre cheap. go to pondshops... even if its barely out of your budget... talk the price down.

Rimshot, splash.
Couldn't resist.
Jun 10, 2008 11:45 am seriously though... there are some pond shops (if u go into a "music scene" area) that have some cheap mixers that u can use for strictly patching all of your audio sources.
i dont have the same setup that i used then because i went broke buyin all my equipment, but i still use that old mixer for all the amps in my room, the tv, my computer, mp3 player... and all sorts of stuff, so i can move the volume from one spot.

you is my best good friend bubba
