To folks who take lessons online...

Hi,

I want to take online bass lessons, but I don't have an amp, only an USB device with headphones. What is the best practice to make both your bass and your voice heard by the other person online? Should I get a practice amp, or is there an external soundcard that can handle both inputs?

I'm asking because in Skype or Google Meet, you can select only one option: it's either your mic or the instrument.

I guess the cheapest option would be a small mixer. You can get them used for less than 30 bucks. Add a cheap microphone that connects to the mixer and you can connect it all to a single input.

What type of USB device do you have? You could try to use OBS.

I have a Behringer UMC22. Meanwhile however I bought a used Harley Benton CB-110X amp and I couldn't be happier.
