Golchen Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Audio interface question I need to get a cheap audio interface for use with recording music on my mac laptop. Generally speaking, do they utilise the mic input or do they work via USB? I know nothing about interfaces at all! To cut a long story short, apple repairs have buggered my mic input and can’t seem to fix it, so I need to get an alternative way of getting sound into the laptop.

cheddatom Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 your mic input is for the onboard soundcard. You want to use an interface instead of the on board sound card, so you get an interface with an input on it, and plug that in via USB or firewire. If you just want something as cheap as possible I think behringer do a USB one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
