That should not make much of a difference, other than wasting a USB port if you don't. Wondering if I upgrade to an external soundcard if I should plan on connecting the keyboard to the soundcard too instead of to a usb port on the laptop. Kalessin: With something like the Steinberg, do you plug the keyboard into the midi input? I am currently using a midi to usb cable and then crappy onboard soundcard. If I were on a budget, but wanted to make sure I was getting the best sound within that budget, I would pick up both the Behringer and the Steinberg used, spend some time comparing, and sell whichever one loses on price or quality. Albeit, I'm not an audiophile, and there might be things like listener fatigue, subconscious stuff. I must say that the Behringer is super quiet when I play the piano, and I couldn't tell the difference in sound quality between it and a fancy tube headphone amp. The signal to noise ratio on the Steinberg is the same as the Behringer. I like the Behringer monitor speakers (like the 2030A and 2031A), but apart from that I cannot say many positive things about the audio quality of any Behringer equipment I tried. Devices like the Steinberg UR22 are a farcry from anything Behringer makes, and are not that expensive. If the choice is between a (quite noisy) live mixer for fifty bucks or a decent USB sound device for a hundred, I know what I would choose. there's nothing more expensive than buying too cheap. Like I said, I'm using two HyperX Cloud Core headsets.Well. I've looked online for solutions but to not avail. I have the 'TO PHONES/CTRL RM', 'TO MAIN MIX', and the phantom power buttons all pressed, too. The mixer is set as the primary recording device and all.

Like, the PC just isn't picking up any input from the microphones on the headset. HOWEVER, I can't seem to get them to record. So far, I've got it to where I can hear sound from my PC through both headsets. Here is a picture of my current setup as reference. I thought it would be as easy as plugging the headsets into the respective 'MIC' inputs on the mixer and then connecting the headphones into the 'PHONES' input via a splitter. I bought this mixer in hopes that I could improve the quality of the setup, but now I'm lost. This works, but there are issues with that method as you could imagine. I've been using two HyperX Cloud Core headsets connected via a splitter in order to record dual-commentary during the matches. I stream local Smash 4 tournaments in my city.
