Having phantom power on when you plug the mic into the audio interface can cause damage to your microphone. Generally, condenser mics need phantom power. If the microphone needs phantom power (+48V), then push the +48V button. Make sure that the Phantom power button is not on on your audio interface.Īnd then plug the other end into your audio interface. Now plug the microphone cable into the mic. So plug into the correct port (USB, Firewire, or Thunderbolt). Plug the audio interface into the computer.Īudio interfaces come in a variety of connections. We’re going to do a couple of things to make recording happen: *Note if you are using a USB Microphone to record, the process is a little bit different. A purchased copy of FL Studio Producer or Signature Edition.Here are the pieces of audio gear you are going to need to follow along with this post:

You can pick which method works best for your workflow. I’m going to give you two options you can use for recording. We’ll cover the components you need, how to set everything up the first time, and how to start recording. Not sure if this makes any differnce.Basic Steps to setup your mic and interface Thank you to anyone willing to provide assistance! Sorry for the convoluted post, I'm very overwhelmed trying to figure out where to start. Lastly, if I'm reading correctly, a cheaper mixer would probably allow me to record only into one combined feed into the pc? Whereas a more expensive usb mixer would bring each input into the DAW as a separate feed? A few months from now I'll likely upgrade to a more competent and robust mixer. Ultimately I'm looking to record through the mixer into fl studio, and also to have the midi chain allow for my synthesizers to be synced up.įor the time being I'm content with a relatively small number of inputs (4-6 should be fine.). As I understand it, I should be looking for a mixer which functions as an output interface, through which I can route the midi signals towards and through my synthesizers etc? I'm using fl studio and reading online it suggests I need to connect the pc to the "midi output interface" (does this mean midi controller?). I was considering a behringer usb mixer but learned they do not transfer midi signals.
