[Trombone-l] Home recording setup

[Jeff Albert]

If your cpu has a mini plug in, you might just need an 1/4 in to mini cord
to go from the Buddy to the cpu.  I think a better solution would be to get
a USB or Firewire audio interface that has a preamp built in.  I like M-Aido
stuff.  i use a Firewire 410, but the Mobile Pre USB might be more what you
need.
