Total recording newbie here, so be gentle
, and .... I already RTFM!... several times.... ahem
How can I hear my recordings other than using headphones? I'd like to be able to use my computer (laptop) speakers, but it seems that's not possible. The manual says, "To monitor output from your computer, connect the analog outputs (-boltdude: RCA jacks I assume?) of the US122 to your mixer, amplifier or powered monitors." Ain't got no mixer or powered monitors. I do have an amplifier, but of course, it has no RCA style input jacks. Is there such a thing as an RCA to 1/4" jack adaptor?
Perhaps on a related note, what the heck are the "Insert" jacks for on the US122? The manual says almost nothing about them. They are 1/4" jacks. The manual does say "tip=send, ring=return, sleeve=ground." They are on the input side of the unit, but the manual gives both input and output audio specifications for them. I don't suppose these could be used as output to my amplifier for monitoring?
Oh yeah, and one more thing, which is better for a newbie with rather non-extravagant recording plans, Cubasis or Gigastudio?
Thanks
