With an adapter, you can connect a keyboard or other MIDI device for

o it is generally not compatible with the microphones for recording all types, or low-level output instruments (guitar and bass), instrument amplifier or loudspeaker outputs.
o It can also be used with something that has a line output (line-out keyboard, the instrument output line current (guitar, bass) output CD player, etc. To use them, you probably need an adapter to convert your fourth made "connections to 1 / 8 is required.

What technique The most important to you?
Sound information about card products is summarized in the rule regarding:
* Bits
* Sample Rate
* Interface or connection
1. Sampling Rate
To explain:
* If your sound card to 48 kHz frequency locked and you want to record at 44.1 kHz (standard sample rate for audio CDs) sound card, 2 conversions – both input and exit before the sound reaches your ears.
* With each conversion, there is a loss of sound quality. In addition, these additional measures may Shooting cause problems with the sound track of the time.
Avoid its rate card blocked
2. Lifecycle
* The professional sound cards not age as fast as their consumer counterparts.
* You must therefore check your plans for the future is likely to save, and you take them into account in purchasing decisions.

* Audio interfaces are generally a mic preamp and phantom power (for condenser mics)
