Audio8 + APC40 instead of studio mixer?

So you may have read my threads about me getting free shit from my dad to set up a home studio, but im wondering, instead of buying a studio mixer can i not just use my audio8 for inputs and the APC for levels and such.

Im guessing the outputs for an electric guitar will be quiet so will i need a pre-amp or does the A8 do it for me? and same with the mic, or does the C channel have a pre-amp built in since its made for mics.

mic is preamped, not so sure about the line with instruments but if you have both you don’t lose anything trying :slight_smile:

im just scared incase i blow anything, like the A8 has an input select mode of phono/line or control vinyl but only for deck A/B i was kinda hoping to use Deck D for the guitar :disappointed:

yeah, C is mic/line and D is plain line

Wont a guitar be phono?
