Complete newb question here but,
If I purchase a desktop synth and a drum machine, how do i connect everything together?
I own studio monitors and a virus, so can i plug the desktop synth and drum machine into the virus?(would the virus then be acting as a sound card for them?) If this is possible is there any con?
If the above is possible, what do I need to purchase once all the slots on the virus are full? is audio interface the correct term? |
Yes, you will need an audio interface (soundcard) to record the audio, and you will also need a MIDI interface to connect and sync the drum machine to your computer (unless it sends/receives MIDI via USB). Many soundcards have a built-in MIDI in/out, or you can pick up something cheap, like the M-Audio Uno.
