I have Magix music studio 7. in the past I have used a standard PC microphone to record. Although that does a good job for basic recordings, I would actually like to use this great program to do a demo for my band. I have a great Alesis mixer that is USB compatible......can I use a mixer to laptop to put the recordings into Studio 7? Or do I have to have some other type of MIDI interface??

MIDI is something entirely different has nothing to do with the Alesis mixer.

The question is whether Studio 7 will recognise the USB input as a recording source and be able to use it.

This you should be able find out from the recording source options in the software, assuming the device is recognised by Windows and, if necessary, the correct Alesis drivers are installed.
