>Monitors are Yamaha HS5’s, being run through a steinberg UR12 interface, and then into my acer laptop.
you must mean “out of your laptop”, then to an interface? ( wut?)
and then to the monitors ????

I have the Steinberg UR12. I don’t know much about audio, so most of what you said went right over my head lol

You need to leave the “adapter cable” ideology behind. You want a proper interface like this. There are plenty like it around the $60-100 USD price range. Integrated phantom power so you don’t need a separate phantom power supply. Those “adapter cables” try to cram some cheap analog-to-digital USB hardware into a very small space, and the result is a shitty overall product.
Also, the above poster is ribbing you for saying 48 watts instead of 48 volts in terms of phantom power.

ah another prospective musician falls prey to the siren call of the loudest voices 🙁
if it’s not too late, I strongly suggest getting an audio interface rather than a mixer. For slightly more, this will get you a much much much better sound.
Mixers are intended for live music applications in a bar where and interfaces are used for home applications. The preamps in an interface are much much higher quality than live mixer preamps (especially the ones in Behinger products).
mixers are okay for capturing voice for streamers playing videogames, but not good for us music streamers.

You can pick up a Steinberg UR12 on amazon for $100 right now. It’ll do everything OP needs. Obviously not pro gear, but for the sake of recording a podcast or voiceover for live streaming that’s what it was designed for with the loopback functionality built in. The preamp will make your recording quality MUCH better with less line noise and artifacting that comes with just using a generic soundcard to record and give you the option of increasing or decreasing the gain if you need more or less volume.

> I have nothing bad to say about my Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. Great, affordable interface. You can skip the mixer and plug your microphone straight into that if you’re only doing single (or two) channel recordings.
I was buying an interface lately and found the Focusrite scarlett range to be hit and miss – as many people were saying they were having hell with clipping with their guitar as people saying they had no issues – guessing it’s a quality issue.
Ended up buying a Steinberg UR12 for $80 new which was easy to set up, sounds incredible and comes with a free copy of Cubase, which is freaken sweet.

Hi everyone. I want to start collaborating with my brother in law who just moved across the country. We plan to record stuff (he is an EDM guy, I’m a rock guy) on GarageBand or the like and send it back and forth to modify, add to, etc.
TLDR: What gear should I get to start recording music onto my computer??
I want to record my acoustic-electric and electric guitar. What is my best option? I have an ok USB mic, but I’m sure it would sound much better with a direct clean input. I am debating between these two devices, but don’t really understand the difference:
Any advice or other gear suggestions would be really helpful! For example, I have a Fender Mustang II modeling amp… is there a way to use that to record into a computer? Or just better off using build in tones from whatever software I use? THANKS!
