Hi! I hope I'm clicking in the right place as above it notes new members introduce yourself here. Is this where we introduce ourselves or does this end up being a reply to someone who posted here? Better than nothing I'll say something here.
I'm returning to recording first time since 2005 with the Focusrite 2i2 3rd Generation and using my original Studio Projects B3 large diaphragm condenser mics, original XLR cables, and mic stands. I haven't hooked my system up yet because I'm not finished preparing my recording area which might take another week. I will post a question about my business grade Hewlett Packard micro desktop with -- Processor: Intel (R) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU E8400 3.00 GHz with 8GB RAM 64 bit operating system with Windows 10 Pro. I'm afraid, now suddenly dawning on me, about it's original internal sound card being a recording quality problem.
That's my setup so far and maybe forced into buying another used computer.
Hi to all! Winfred
Welcome Winfred.
Sometimes a new member introduction becomes a question. That is fine.
Best to start a new thread in a topic forum to get most members viewing. Not all of us frequent this one.
Simplest answer to your question is that you need an external audio interface. No PC comes with a good sound card worth recording with. Not even close! You PC is likely adequate.
Google 'Audio Interface'. Find what your needs are and purchase accordingly. And feel free to ask members here their advice. Many of us here to help.
