I started messing around with Kristal... and the sound coming through it is awful (as compared to Audacity). It is very poppy. What's going on? Could there be a setting wrong? I don't think it is hardware, because things run great in Audacity.
Thanks
Won't the mixer be able to do the same thing though? I thought all I needed was phantom power? Is all phantom power not created equal?
Thanks for all the help guys.
Thanks... I was thinking phantam power, but I want to be sure before I spend money on it when it is no good. It seems to be a great mic (I was reading reviews). I'll have to look into it. I think I may have a friend that has some recording stuff, maybe I can ask if I can test the mic out on his...
I was given this microphone, used, from a guy that basically said he had no use for it anymore. I just tried using it through my computer, and it doesn't seem to be picking up anything. I'm new at this, so maybe there is an obvious reason? I have used other mics without a preamp on my computer...

I've been reading up on recording the past few days and decided to see just how poor my setup would sound. I have a Pentium 4 3.2 Ghz computer with 512 mb of RAM, a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS sound card, a Schriber Acoustic SA-568 microphone (it came with my Dad's video camera), an obscure...
This is basically it?
1. You write a beautiful song that needs to be heard (haha, yeah right :rolleyes: )
2. You play the song and record it onto a multi-track recorder or onto a computer
3. You mix the tracks together on the computer using some sort of software (or on the mult-track recorder...
I don't have any recording tips for you, because I'm just starting to look into it as well, but I like the song. My only advice would be to make the vocals louder, but it sounds pretty good considering that PC mic you are using.
