I just ordered an FM3 and was planning on using it with my studio monitors, but I now realise that I'd have to keep swapping the XLR cables from the FM3 to the speakers with the RCA cables coming from my PC to the speakers. It would also mean that I couldn't play audio via my PC while playing guitar via the FM3; so no jamming to backing tracks.
Are there any cost-effective solutions to this?
Knut from G66 suggested a MOTU M2, where I assume you connect the stereo outputs of the FM3 to the stereo inputs of the audio interface, and then the audio interface to the computer via USB as well as the FM3 to the PC via USB. But the MOTU M2 is €200. Knut also suggested the Behringer U-Phoria UMC202HD, which is a lot cheaper, but I don't know how the audio of the Behringer will compare to my PC's motherboard audio for everything else I do on my PC like listening to music and watching films.
Are there are any other solutions that can allow me to connect my FM3 to my speakers without interfering with my PC's normal audio?
