I've got a Behringer U-phoria which I record the noisy stuff on - using Behringer's own ASIO software. When I record keys I just plug directly into the laptop via USB and use ASIO4All for the input.

Does anyone know if it's possible to record say vocals via the Behringer, but also input the MIDI keyboard at the same time - for those Elton John moments...

I think realistic could mean two things when talking about the snare drum sound. What we hear as a drummer sitting behind the snare drum OR what someone hears sitting in front of the snare. No manipulation of sound. No mics. Just the raw sound of the snare. So, what is the best way to record the snare drum for each of these two cases?

I am not suggesting that the recording should match 100% to what we hear with our ears, but what I...

1) I used real leather instead of faux leather for the T shaped mute. So, since the real leather is thicker and heavier than faux leather it mutes more.
2) I employed Rick Dior's suggestion to connect the...
