Most computers don't have 6 outputs, or even 3 for use of a sub - the left and right would be channeled to the sub, which splits off the signals and the left and right speakers hook to it (?) Possibly even the rear speakers hook up to it? (Unless of course you have a video computer set up with 6 channel audio) Anyway when you reference 'room size' and other settings for this speaker system - its for use with surround sound movies, etc, not reproducing recorded music accurately. I'm sure it works fine for your use, but hooking up speakers for reproducing recorded music accurately should not be done this way.

Yea I'll have to take your word for it Gordon I haven't any contact with a Windows machine since my Dididesign days. Still, and even so, this doesn't change the idea that it doesn't make a whole lotta sense to purchase an interface only to use the Windows sound card. Horses for courses I suppose! |

Even motherboard chipset audio (let alone if using a soundcard) these days is very good. Many support up to 24bit at a 96000 rate
and may even have a digital out if you want to do DA conversion elsewhere. Even more so I would not worry about it in this case given that the recording unit is a BEHRINGER audio interface UMC22.

I think the issue many have is that Barry has never once heard the audio flowing through the UMC22(?) interface. Maybe there is no difference to him, and that's fine. But no way to judge if you haven't tried it.

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. |

I'm not a "seasoned studio cat" but I've also come around to that way of thinking. So much so in fact, that my first big gear purchase when I relocate and have a bigger room will be a set of midfield monitors and a sub. Not sure which yet, but midfields are in my future.

I'd compare trying to record without decent monitors to trying to paint a picture with your eyes closed... Even for solo guitar. You really have to be able to hear what is there. You might get lucky and get an acceptable sound, just like you might accidentally paint a masterpiece without looking. But it's not likely :-)

Get yourself a set of Grado headphones. My favorite (in the affordable range anyway) are 225e.

I'll take a look at them, thanks. What do you suggest for an affordable pair of monitors?
