Harmonica Playing FAQs

Home Studio: Audio Interface

Audio Interfaces If your only requirement for a mic is recording harmonica into your computer, all you may need is a USB microphone and recording software. But, if you'd like to use quality studio microphones (XLR connectors) as well as record line-level instruments like guitar and keyboard (1/4" phone jack), you will want a USB or Firewire audio interface to connect to your computer. If you choose to use a condenser type microphone to record with, you will need an interface or small mixer that comes with mic pre-amps (Phantom Power) to power it.
