Have you tried selecting the gray with the color picker tool, then using Select>Color Range, creating a mask, then putting a red overlay? Or, if you are not looking for a realistic look on the tshirt in photoshop, just selecting the color range, deleting the gray, then filling it with red?

In Photoshop, with the picture open, go to Image > Mode > RGB Color. Now you should be able to paint it with color.

Well, if you are trying to fill up the whole canvas with the gradient, just select your gradient tool (tap "L"). If you are trying to get a section of a canvas to be filled with your gradient, just select your select tool

free-form: tap "F".
rectangular: tap "R"
ellipse: tap "E".

Make a selection, then fill it with your gradient.

I would buy another mixer. Look for a small line mixer like a Behringer Xenyx 802. That way you could use your 2 channel mixer for your first two channels. And use the Behringer for the third channel. Run the outputs from your two channel into channels one and two on the Behringer. use channels three and four on the Behringer for your third channel. You need two channels for both. One for left and one for right. Using your mic input may cause distortion and will not be stereo.
