Is there a source (like a website, a course or a book) of information about audio hardware you can recommend? Information about things like I/O types, hardware types (amps, audio interfaces etc.) and so on.
I've been producing for about 3 years now and have only used a DAW and studio headphones. I was thinking of buying an audio interface to get a clearer output, but after some googling I realized that audio hardware is far more complex than I thought. There are so many input/output types I never knew existed. If I were to get a set of monitors, I'd have no idea where to plug them in or even what type of connector is needed to plug them in (I assume you don't use a 3.5mm jack for monitors). So far I haven't found any place online that clearly explains how this stuff works, only small bits of information on certain products.
Thanks!
