@bbaw8 You could use a jack that splits the signal for two headphones. In my town we call it Y, but I don’t know the name in english. I get those at regular electronics shops.

Depends on a variety of factors. Quality of the mic, outside noise, mic placement, and yes.. a quality interface will help.

Depends on what …
Depends on what mixer you got. Some newer mixers have a USB or Firewire output for bussing the output into a computer (so you wouldn’t *need* a soundcard). Otherwise, the answer is yes, you need a soundcard.

have the output …
have the output from your soundcard go to a channel in your mixer, then you can route the mixer’s control room output (not the main output) into an input of your soundcard and send your mic channel through the control room out – > soundcard – > recording software.

yes that should work without any problem.

Lot’s has come and gone. I’ll be hopefully adding some more videos coming up soon. Thanks for the comments!
Yes, that’s def ideal. I do have some foam under the monitors though to manage the bass response. I might add that this was also at my previous home to where I have my studio now.

re: monitor …
re: monitor placement.
I understand that in your room space is an issue but it should be mentioned that it’s preferable to not have monitors in corners of the room.
Also (and im not positive about this) you probably want to Not have your monitors ontop of boxes or bins as it’s supposed to really mess with the bass response. U might want to try a some small diy shelfs or something on the cheap.
