Thanks Colin.

My interface I don't believe has Phantom, although that term is still new to me. Is there a plugin for that?
I have an inexpensive dj mixer along with Audacity for sound editing.
I would like some more levels to play with and have been looking at upgrading with the mixing.
The brand of my dj mixer is merkury innovations, but when I went to upgrade the company stopped making mixers.
But I was thinking of going with either Numark or Pioneer.

I would prefer not having to deal with these USB hiccups if I can and am going to start looking at Phantom more.
I have heard that mentioned more as a standard.
