I use a Win 7 64 PC running source connect, a Rode microphone, and a FocusRite 2i2 2nd Gen USB Preamp, so a remote studio can record voice over sound from here.
I now want to record a local broadcast quality recording here while also running source connect so the one mic needs to feed two PCs via 2 USB interfaces - I have not yet found a mic preamp with 2 USB outputs.
I am proposing to take the balanced Line output of the 2i2 preamp and feed that into another 2i2 and connect that via USB to a second PC that will record the sound locally. I have asked FocusRite about their balanced line out quality as in their FAQ it is designed for monitors and mixers so should be as good as the USB feed output.
I do have an analogue mixer but do not want to resort back to analogue, and do not want to buy a digital mixer due to cost and also as it will not have 2 USB outputs. Getting one broadcast quality mic into 2 PCs is the aim. ANY IDEAS??? One option is to use 2 mics but they may not be paired so using/mixing between the local and remote recording may reveal variances.
I am told if I had MAC I could record on the MAC AND connect to the remote studio via source connect but more expense to convert to MAC but I can see that coming down the line. Thanks for any advice.
