I've got a condenser microphone with a XLR cable. Currently, I use an Emx512sc to phantom power it. From it, I send the audio to my laptop through an rca to 3.5mm plug cable (laptop line in), via the "rec out" module in the mixer. The question goes: Will I get better audio quality from an usb interface that goes directly into the laptop?
Microphone is a Tascam TM-80. I'm wondering if my weird setup is bottlenecking the quality. Also, what other features would I get from a dedicated interface?
Thanks to you all.
