Cables For Tracking

I plan to get an interface real soon, but for now I just need something that will get my beats out of my MPC. What would be better,

This Y-Cable

with this adapter?

The cables would be going into the Line In on my PC so I'm just wondering what would be the better choice for now.

I have a mbox, the inserts are inside the XLR inserts, so if dudes getting a mbox he should have a 1/4" not 1/8 right?

umm where did he state he was getting a mbox i dont see it i just see interface. The connections you have are called neutrik connections its not exactly a 1/4 inside a xlr.

the cable lamp posted is all you need

If.

I already have this cable



so getting the Y adapter would be the easiest since I could pick it up at Radioshack instead of ordering it on line...My question is will the quality get worse if I get the Y adapter than if i were to get the cable Lampdog posted?
I say this cause with the Y adapter and 1/4 to 1/8 cable, it will be going Stereo>Mono, then Stereo>Mono again cause the second cable is Stero>Mono...So could that make the quality worse?

both cables you or lampdog posted are cheap cables. if you want good quality cables check out mogami cables, or even monster cables if dont wanna spend a grip

monster does cost a grip

im sure its worth it though..

Quit worrying about the damn quality, You don't even know what cable you need, and you worrying about quality? lol, seriously, go to radio shack and get the cable I posted, you said pc line in to mpc out, that's the EXACT cable I posted. Why are you overthinking this.. Quit doing that. Radio shack cables are CHEAP, even the cheap ones will do you right, just get up off the computer and go get the cable, simple.

is neutrik the actual name of the connector? i was under the impression that they were called speakon and that neutrik was just a popular company that makes em. it is possible they developed them, but im not sure about that part.
