I am setting up my recording studio and
have gotten mixed messages from people. All I want to do is have at least 2 mic inputs with phantom power and volume control going into my computer. I have found the Duo by Midiman which gives you this and has a USB connection going to the computer. But there is also the option of buying a small mixing board and having its output connect to the small 1/8" input on the computer. What is considered the optimum quality recording? How are other people connecting their recording hardware to their computer? Thanks for any help. -------------------- To rhyme is a waste of time.

yes, the Mbox is plugged directly into the USB port. have a look at the digidesign website.
http://www.digidesign.com/ about the computer's audio in, well, it's an 1/8" to start with (not much), and if your going to record anything you'll need a preamp. you really can't compare usb/firewire audio to an 1/8". |
