Audio/Computer Interface: In short, an audio/computer interface is a device that

converts an incoming audio signal into a digital signal that is recognizable by a computer.

This conversion allows engineers to use an audio software equipped computer to record

musicians. In addition to supporting audio, some interfaces also support MIDI.

Audio/computer interface devices require little set up, often plugging directly into a

computer’s USB or ﬁrewire slot. Shop around and look for devices that ﬁt the budget of

the classroom. Also keep in mind how the device will be used in the classroom. Will the

class be recording more than one or two tracks simultaneously? Will MIDI instruments

be used? Depending on the physical setup or budget of the class, either buy one device for a main

teaching computer or buy smaller devices suitable for each individual computer station (having

both setups would be best). Mixcraft is compatible with all pc-based audio/computer interfaces.

Instruments: A music curriculum often requires the recording of acoustic or electronic

instruments. Acoustic instruments such as acoustic guitars, drums, string, brass, wind, or

percussive instruments are typically “miked” or recorded with a microphone. Electronic

instruments, ranging from electric guitars, synthesizers, or drum machines, are typically recorded

directly through an audio cable that can be plugged into an audio/computer interface. Mixcraft is

capable of recording all acoustic and electronic instruments.

Instrument and Microphone Cables: Whether for recording with an external

microphone or with an instrument itself, it is important to purchase the right audio

cables. Microphones generally take an XLR cable; electronic instruments normally use a

TRS cable. Finally, a MIDI instrument to Mixcraft hookup usually requires MIDI cable.

Much like socks in the washer, cords tend to disappear, so do not hesitate to purchase a

couple of extras!

MIDI Controller: MIDI Controllers are devices that normally use a keyboard interface to control

virtual instruments or other external hardware. These devices work well in a classroom setting

to control and perform with Mixcraft’s virtual instruments. For example, a student performing

with a MIDI keyboard device can actually “play” Mixcraft’s Organ Instrument. MIDI Controllers

vary widely in price range, but a small, reliable MIDI keyboard can be purchased for around 100

dollars.

Monitors or Headphones: It will be important to monitor class recordings and Mixcraft sessions.

For student computer stations, it would be ideal to have one pair of headphones per computer

station. For educator stations, a decent pair of monitor speakers should allow the whole class to

hear whatever Mixcraft session the class has been working on.
