Putting mixed album on USB for mastering?

Forums

Hi there, this is my first post on this site because I couldn't seem to find many people talking about this. I just finished recording a record and mixing it on Logic & a Mackie Mixer, etc. Record's all done from that point and now I need to send it off to some guys for mastering, but I was curious if I could put the mixed record on a USB or hard drive for sending?

Help using Behringer C-1 with Nady SMPS-USB audio interface

I have my Behringer C-1 condenser microphone plugged into an XLR cable, that XLR is plugged into my Nady SMPS-USB audio interface with phantom power, and a USB is plugged into the Nady and my Windows laptop.

The Nady SMPS-USB is being powered by a replacement AC adapter for now with only 12 volts for testing purposes. An 18v AC adapter is the original requirement.

XLR to USB

I am very new to recording and I have an MXL 990/991 microphone. I do not have a recording interface, so I was wondering if I used an XLR to USB cord, if either of these microphones would work by plugging directly into my computer. I have read a few forums and they said you need phantom power from an interface or else they would not work, so I am just trying to avoid spending $100 on one.
