"Just starting? Afraid to ask a stupid question? Don't worry, in here nobody will laugh at you." Hope this applies.
I've done a search and am not finding what I need/understand.
It's just my drum machine, my voice, and my guitars. I've decided(?) on the M-Audio 2496 soundcard and nTrack. I need something to go between my mic or guitar and the soundcard, correct? Please give me some choices to research.
Also, when monitoring during recording (overdubbing) I'll be using headphones. I assume they connect to the interface, correct?
When listening to playback before and during mixdown I need to use external monitor speakers. Do these connect to this interface or from out of the back of my computer tower?
My searches for "interface" turn up USB/Firewire (don't want) or multi-imput soundcards (don't need). The books I've checked out are unclear about the whole connection issue.
Those of you that take the time to answer a variation on the same question are to be thanked from all on this forum.
Thanks
