you know i want to hear myself.

That’s the hard part. Most computer headphone connections deliver a live voice late because of internal processing delays. We recommend one of the hardware techniques that let you plug the headphones into the recording device, not the computer. Those work perfectly well.

If hearing yourself is not important, then almost any computer soundcard and microphone can be made to work. Please note that only fast computers work well because the computer has to play the old tracks perfectly and record your voice perfectly all at the same time. Older, slower computers that can’t manage those two at once will not work.

All you have to do is get an interface, (Well this is how I do it anyways) and then plug your headphones into it. Its as simple as that. Good luck :smiley:

That’s all covered in the wiki. It took us a while to get that together.

It doesn’t matter what the microphone is or how it’s connected as long as you don’t need to hear yourself during the performance. Koz

but I’m just the opposite I want to hear myself. I understand that I need to plug my condenser mic through audio interface and then in audio interface i must plug my phones.Then i will hear the perfomance.
