Hello. I plan to record my 6'1" Grand Piano with 2 Behrenger B-5
mikes and a Mackie 1202VLZ mixer (I haven't purchased these yet). I
would like to run the signal to an interface card in my computer,
which is 35 feet away. Can anyone advise me on which card would be
best for me? Is a USB interface better?
My computer is about 35' from the piano.
Thanks!

The last thing you'll hear is the difference between soundcards (above
a basic level of adequacy) as long as yours has a Line In connection.
What's in there at present?

You'll hear, in order of importance:

Quality of the piano and its player.

Positioning of your microphones and the characteristics of the room.

Type and quality of microphones (again, assuming we're above a basic
adequacy).

Mixer and/or preamps (again.......)
