Hey guys,
New to the site! Anyways, I've been messing around with home recording (always loved doing it growing up) and I've started to get more serious with it. When I was younger I got a Tascam DP-02CF Digital Portastudio for one of my birthdays. At the time I thought it was awesome to just be able to track guitars and such and not create anything too amazing. As I got older I started to switch to recording using a computer and became more fond of doing so. Lately I have just been running my guitars and mics directly into my Macbook using USB cables, which has worked fine thus far, however sometimes I run into trouble. I am considering buying an audio interface (or even possibly a mixer) to make recording easier by controlling the input volume. That being said, I was wondering if I could use the Portastudio mentioned above as a pseudo interface. My plan was to plug the instrument into the portastudio and use RCA cables. The RCA cables would connect to something such as a Behringer U-CONTROL UCA202 USB-Audio Interface and then connect it to my computer via USB connection. Would this work? Or should I just spend the money for a interface?
Thanks!
