hooking a mixer up with a interface

I am thinking about expanding my "studio". I want more xlr inputs and more options in general. So I was just wondering how you can link a mixer to an interface, and then to my computer. I just dont know what to buy. I want to be able to record at least 12 tracks at one time. So what do i need to buy to do that?

Sorry, man, my dyslexic mind read "Mix a hooker up with an interface', and now I'm laughing too hard to be of any help. My guess is that if you do that, the song is f**ked!

You need a mixer with at least 12 inputs with either direct outputs or insert points for each input. Full story here:
