Hi.
So I had previously bought a Behringer C1-U USB mic. Now I was thinking about getting a focusrite solo audio interface to be able to record my semi-acoustic guitar. Now I know that my USB mic won't go into the interface and this is what concers me.
Is there any way I can still make use of my USB mic (instead of buying a condenser with XLR) along with the audio interface (for guitars) while recording in two separate tracks on the same laptop? If yes, then please tell me how.

Feel free to give new ideas also, keeping in mind that I don't have the budget for a new condenser mic with XLR.

The USB microphone unfortunately is not usable if you buy a condensnser with XLR connection because it will receive power supply from the interface trough XLR cable connection to be able to give higher quality recordings.

In my opinion a good mic for recording guitar and voice at the same time is the AT2020 watch reviews on youtube
