Now that you have a basic understanding of what podcasting is and have
the necessary gear, it’s time to set up the equipment, install the software and
get started.
Install any necessary drivers before connecting your USB or FireWire 1.
interface. They should be included with your purchase.
Once the drivers are installed, you may connect the interface to your
2.
computer with the included USB or FireWire cable.
Connect your audio source to the inputs of your interface. You may use
3.
RCA or ¼" cables, or an adapter.
Connect a monitoring device. You may connect the outputs of the interface 4.
to a pair of powered speakers or to the inputs of a mixer. You may also
connect a pair of headphones to the interface.
If using a mixer, connect a microphone and/or instruments to the available
5.
channels. You may also connect headphones to the mixer instead of
the interface.
Be sure to read the manuals for the individual components of your podcast 6.
system to ensure proper hookup and operation.
