Hello,
I just bought a cheap xlr microphone, for music and for skype calls, discord, gaming, etc. It's obviously not getting enough power but I seem to be getting two answers when I look for the same question. Phantom power supply, and an audio interface. I don't understand the difference since I'm a complete newbie. What's the difference between the two? Can I record with the phantom power supply? Can I make high quality discord or skype calls with an audio interface since the audio interface should be also providing the power right? ugh.. Btw I also have a guitar, and midi controller that I use in fl, and I want to buy monitor speakers. I connect the akai mpk via provided usb. If I should buy an audio interface which one? (I saw that the focusrite scarlett was highly recommended), and how to set up the mic, monitors, and guitar?
Thanks for any help in advance since this is all kind of confusing to me!
