Like a couple of other people said, this is not the only way to record to software. I've been recording for years, self-taught, and I don't have any equipment with four inputs. I have one mic that plugs right into the computer, just one input, and I record each part individually into a WAV editor. Then I engineer and mix all the WAVs together. It's like a puzzle, and I love it. With lots of practice you can sound like the pros.

Nice instructional video, thanks! PS - I use a Behringer UB802 and have had no problems with it, no hiss, has 2 XLRs and 4 addl 1/4 inputs. 48V phantom power also. I can see why you'd need 4 inputs in a home studio when you are recording to a drum machine, but SW can feed a drum track out to headphones, you CAN get by with just one input, to record each track individually. (then you have issues with timing...)

u don't need so many inputs, i use the toneport ux2 and a m-audio midi sport and i get all my instruments, u don't need to record every instruments at once, u can plug and unplug

Correct ^^^

nice studio well throught out layout better than putting it all in an old kitchen cabinet. Don't use behringer anything i did and now i regret it...see my videos!

phantom power wont travel through a 1/4 inch plug, it must be XLR to XLR, and most any mic Pre amp will have switchable phantom power, or 48v on it.
