Build Your Own Clone Message Board

I'm in the process of building a simple 4 channel mixer to interface with my laptop and record with. I would like the option to use a usb connection for the output. Do I connect the D+ and D- to the boards output along with the ground or how is this connected properly? I've never messed with usb before but the pinout seems simple enough (5v+, Ground, D+ "data +", D- "data -")

This is the mixer layout I am using.

You would need to use a USB audio device. The mixer would not interface directly with the USB jack of the computer. D+ and D- are serial data (ones and zeros) for communicating with the operating system or other software.

It hurts me to say this.. but.. follow me on facebook and.. instagram

Right on. In the back of my mind I had a feeling something like that was the case. I will probably just use a converter box then from mixer to computer. Would end up being easier that way probably.

A friend gave me one of those high speed, cool guy Peltor noise cancelling headsets that I thought would be pretty cool to find a way to use with my cell phone. For a time I was toying with the idea of building this contraption with blue tooth capabilities so I could keep the adapter box more sealed up and water resistant...

...but after a few weeks of research I said "eff this!" and if that project ever comes together, I'm just going to use physical connectors for everything.
