I purchased one of those rigs, brought it home, installed the software and hooked it up. The first step in the instructions say you should get some message when you connect - I didn't. When I started looking into tech support I discovered that you had to pay for it. I repackaged the unit and brought it back for refund. The software is being put to good use though as I am doing just fine in the manner that you suggest except that I'm connecting pre-amp to computer.
