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.

I'm gonna agree with garysome1 on this one.
It all depends on what you are going to be recording, and how much you want to spend. I'm running a 20 track behringer mixer into the 1/8 sound in on my iMac, and it works like a charm They do make a 2 chanel for about $50. You will be able to do stereo recordings doing it this way. Also the behringers come with 48 volt fantom power built in, so there is no need for any pre amping. Anyway that's about the biggest bang for the buck. If you have the money a firewire/multi audio in would be sweet! I'm jelouse of folks who can blow big bucks on such neet toys..... -------------------- kaboombahchuck
