Many seasoned studio cats say that the monitoring chain is the most important part of a recording system. The basis for this is if I can't accurately hear what I am recording all other decisions (e.g., mic choice, mic placement, processing, etc.) will be compromised. While that may be true when mixing dozens of tracks from many different sources, its a bit less important when only mixing a stereo track of a single source, like solo fingerstyle guitar. Still, the monitoring chain is quite important (i.e., clock, DA conversion, monitors, location and room treatment).
I agree with the others. Monitors are to be connected to the interface's line or monitor analog outputs, not the computer's audio analog outputs.
