I want to get my head round computer recording having discovered how well my Yamaha THR10 works with Reaper.
I have an SE2200A condenser mic for vocals which I've been using with my digital multitrack desk, but as it needs phantom power I need some way of powering it and recording it to DAW.
Is there a good USB audio interface with phantom power? I'd say £100 - £150 max but thinking I could put it on my birthday list
Alternatively, I've seen standalone phantom power supply boxes for about £20, are they any good and would they sound ok going through the THR10 on the 'flat' setting?

Only interface I've had in the past was a Novation Nio 2/4 and I hated it which put me off pc recording.
I don't hear any latency whatsoever with my THR10 in to my Win7 i7 laptop so I want to see if I can crack DAW recording. The 2nd Gen Scarlett 2i2 sounds very promising, as does the Steinberg UR22.
Time will tell if I made the right decision. I haven't used any of the bundled software as I am trying to get to grips with Reaper.
Chose it over the 2i2 as it has MIDI which something else I've never tried using, and I have a MIDI synth.
Hopefully this will all go swimmingly!
