Can it be plugged directly to my computer? Would I be able to see my live recording while using Audacity?

No, these units are analogue mixers, to record into the PC you'll need to send the outputs into a seperate audio interface (usb/FireWire/or even into your built in soundcard mic input). I think there is a UX (?) model of these mixers that do have built in interfaces but they're obviously a bit dearer and will only send the stereo output of all mixer inputs into the PC but that might suit your needs!

Is this a suitable mixer for a small, computer based recording studio?

I bought this for my 14 year old sons small studio for live recording. A multi channel audio interface would of worked just as well. I have a mic, guitar, monitors and machine mk3 plugged into it. All he needs now is for his voice to break, he sounds like he’s singing a duet with Orval the duck and John Wayne… good luck

To play music from a mobile phone, is there any advantage to using 5-10 with no mid, instead of channel 3-4, with all three high/mid/low?

Yes, you would use 5-10 for backing track, as it doesn't make sense to amplify the high/low/mid bands of the track. It will unnecessarily distort, if you insert in 1-4, and use those knobs. You can also choose the RCA inputs for playing backing track

Hi I’m no professional sound guy , but have this mixer for a duo , but can only here voice out of one speaker any help would be grateful?

Check you are using STERIO leads from your mics to the mixer these give signal to left and right channel also check left and right out puts from mixer are working by swopping speaker plugs into mixer over and is balance control in centre position
