I don't think people are rolling their eyes. You purchased equipment that worked for your needs and you are happy with the results. That is all that really matters.
Hey scrubs I wasn't my intention to come accross as not appreciative of the advice, in fact I was trying to thank people for their advice. I know that there are folks out there who have top of the line equipment, and probably think I'm half deaf, if I think that the Behringer UB802 can actually make anything sound good.
$230 It's really not that much money for me (in fact I have a whole load of crap in my garage that has cost 6 times the amount of money and I have not touched it in 9 years). The whole point is that I don't know if I'm going to use this for three or four months and never pick it up again, or if this will turn out to be something we want to get deeper into.
If it is something we want to get deeper into, I'm only out $50 (UB802), but if I only use the equipment for four months and never pick it up again. I don't want to be out $400. I can always go out and buy me a $100 Yamaha and a $50 soundcard instead of using an integrated sound card.
I do appreciate the advice of all the folks in here, and without them I would be listening to something that was recorded on a hand held tape recorder, with music comming out of the stereo.
My wife and I are actually very picky when it comes to sound quality. I know it's not professional quality and that if I actually had bought some software along with a decent mixer that I could probably make it sound much better.
I spent about 2 hours playing around and trying to take the line noise out. However, the line noise is so low compared to the background music we are adding in, (for our application) that it is negliable.
Thanks for the rant, and yes I read your whole post.
