There is a "digital delay" that would disrupt your singing. It is NOT like an analog mixer that has ZERO delay from the music playing to the Mic signal mixing with it and playing out the Mixer "Speaker outputs".

We have a developed an elaborate "calibration method" to allow the recorded file to be skewed "backward" to be in sync with the played file; i.e. removing the digital buffer delays that are inherent in recording with a computer. There is no way we can do this with live mixing.

To do what you want will require an external analog mixer. Radio Shack has some inexpensive ones for home use. I believe there are some Threads in the "Hosts and Singers Wisdom" Forum that address mixers.
