<p>I want to run my condenser microphone through my Alesis iO2 interface directly into my D3200 Nikon video camera, which has a 3.5mm jack input.  Can I simply run a 1/4" output from the Alesis with an adapter into the Nikon's audio input?  Since the Aleis is powered by a USB into my computer, I am curious whether such a configuration will work?  I am very new to the recording world, so any insights or suggestions would be much appreciated.</p>

What are you trying to accomplish?  This is a very, very weird objective and there is likely a better way to accomplish whatever you are trying to do.  Why do you need to record the audio in both places?  If you are recording the audio on the PC, you should not need it on camera and vice versa.
