Yeah, this …
Yeah, this information is very noobish stuff, though I don’t necessarily think you HAVE to have a hardware mixer to have good recordings, this minute long video can’t possibly be the hail mary to recording problems. Come on, ‘expert village’?
I have learned that …
I have learned that “expert” village has nothing to do with expert advice at all.
Always use a mixer.
EV sux. How can you …
EV sux. How can you teach stuff like that in 1:24? Like really, somebody’s gonna go “Oh, yeah, now I’ve got a home studio! Gee, thanx!”

heres my probl, i …
heres my probl, i have a soundcard that i use for recording guitar and bass but now, i wanna record vocals but my soundcard didn’t have a microphone input so where will i have to plug the mic to record ?
Not a control …
Not a control interface. “Audio interface” will be correct in this case. The main purpose of it not to control something, but let analog audio signal get in and out digital domain
I`ve seen a lot of …
I`ve seen a lot of people that use a mixer and a interface.. do u have a mixer or do you just use the MBox?
AMEN!!
AMEN!!
to start it all, …
to start it all, people that have home studios didn’t buy a preamp in the first place. Good preamps are expensive. They also call the video MICROPHONE CONNECTIONS but didn’t get into the types of cable….
Expert village my ass…
And FYI, helpful …
And FYI, helpful this video may be, it is also misleading. Forget all the preamp, cable and all hype. All you need is a good SOURCE, a decent mic, a standard interface, and I guarantee you could pull off better sounds than some others will do in a decade. See where you priorities are, if the source you are recording is not good in the first place, having the best of equipment will simply do nothing to make things better. Priorities!
For anyone still …
For anyone still reading this thread of endless comments, please go somewhere else to find answers. YouTube is not exactly the place to learn pro audio regardless whether people are right or not.
thanks man
thanks man
are you on about …
are you on about audio interface? if so then read the rest ov the post…
a control interface on its own can cost around £30 to £100+ depending on what you are after.
theres a behringer one thats about £30, good place to start.
but you will also need a pre-amp and you can get a decent one for about £70+ for beginners.
then what you will need to do is connect the pre-amp to the audio interface and that goes into the computer.
you can also get audio interfaces built into pre-amps..
lol
how much is the …
lol
how much is the control interface?
im sure everyone …
im sure everyone can figure how a mic cable goes into a mic pre-amp where it is actually labelled mic-in lol
this is for the really dumb people.
the manual of these equipment would even tell you how to do these connections!
