Please advise me. I have a budget of $1000 for interface and DAW. I stopped at Guitar Center but the guy there did not seem to know much beyond calculating commissions.
One of the things I do it use my PA system for groups where people give speeches. For this I use an inexpensive set of Nady wireless mics. To record the speeches I run the rca plug back to the laptop and use Audacity. Again, lots of dirt in the sound.
With a dedicated interface would I run the mic receiver into the interface, USB to the puter for recording and use the monitor jack to run the PA system? If that is the flow, I'll need a system with a very low latency.
Come to think of it, That's how I would record live music performances too, isn't it?
