My reply boiled down to "Get a mixer!".

I use a Behringer Eurorack UB502 for the Take-away. Cost me around 40 quid. Downside is that it only has one mic input, so when Makke came over to co-host a show we had to plug his mic into one of the stereo channels and fiddle with the balance. A UB802 will solve that by providing you two mic inputs, but it'll set you back another tenner.

Have you got a decent soundcard? If not, get one with two (or more) microphone inputs. Otherwise it is down the mixer road you have to go.

How do you attach mixers to your pc soundcard??

I've found this - http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?Mod ... 8&doy=18m9

think it would work??

As a really cheap solution this would work - but you would need a TRS to mini-jack converter..

Your soundcard should have a "line in" connector. Just plug it into that one.

Im hoping youre talking about these:

need to be the other way around - converter needs to accept a mono-TRS and output a mini-jack so it can plug into the MIC input on your soundcard (assuming of course that your soundcard uses a mini-jack for it's microphone input).

This should do ya...

There ought to be array mic soundcards out there. But I'd go for a mixer as well - if you're OK with having channels merged. That'll give you a sad sad mono feel, though.
