does the 8fx include daw? If not, what free daw do you recommend to use?

To my knowledge, a DAW is not included with the SoundCraft NotePad mixers. My needs for digital recording and mixing are very simple. I use Audacity which has been around for decades, is free and open source, and provides an sufficient level of functionality for basic multi-track recording and editing. I'm not sure it would be accurate to label Audacity as a DAW, at least in comparison to high-end (and expensive) tools such as Pro Tools or Cubase. An internet search should provide some other no cost or freeware alternatives.

What is the difference between the mic inputs and the two extra 1/4 inch inputs to the right on the 8?

Not sure which you are referring to. #7/8 are RCA inputs, not 1/4 inch. To the right of that are the master L and R outputs. The 1/4 inch inputs that are not mic (3/4, 5/6) are line inputs. Mic inputs are more sensitive than line inputs. Hopefully one of those things was the information you were after.

Is the usb for computer interface only or can you use it for a usb mike input?

Yes, the USB port is only for interfacing with your computer. USB mics will not work with this mixer. If this was helpful, please consider purchasing from us (pixelproaudio on Amazon). We can help with support after the sale as well. We have it in stock and ready to ship. - Pixel Pro Audio

can i control the effects, meaning that one channel has effects and the other channel not?

Yes, each channel has an fx control knob. But, each channel with effects gets the same effect, ie, you can't do reverb on 1 and delay on 2.
