Chris,

One can, at least in theory, get by with feeding the audio directly between the K3 and the computer.  However, from what I’ve read, adjustment is very sensistive and it is more susceptible to hum , RF pickup, etc.  And you have to deal with how your computer handles the audio (mixers, audio enhancement, etc.)    The SignaLink is a good, simple, reliable interface, well worth it IMO.

Have fun and good luck with your construction.
