I just purchased a TASCAM Interface Audio.
It is a two channel and connects to a USB port.
An entry level unit that boasts clean cd quality.
It will be a lot preferrable to going between sound cards and trying to find ways of reducing background noise.
Since I record between two computers, it is going to be fun with this two channel.
If the dynamics in sound permit it, I can even loop the 2 track from my external hard drive and dub through it indefinately.
But sound and equipment is a delicate thing.
I never had software that had channels I could record into.
Just the .wav in my 2 computers between the headphone output going to the line-in or mic jack of my second computer.
But I'm not going to be lazy trying to make the best sound I can out of little. I'm going to integrate this new toy, and if I can master it, integrate it.
I also have only a standard mic.
But I'm thinking of getting a Roland mic.
The store owner I know that runs a studio swears by them.
Anyways, I had to celebrate with a post that my little productions will sound a lot cleaner. And if maybe someone own one or has owned one that can share their experience.
I have been working on my playing also.
Which is why I did'nt initially think as much for the recording sound.
And I like depending on my ears instead of monitors.
