Hi, everyone! A while ago my friend came up with this idea that since she can sing and I can play the piano, that we could make a CD, and some $$$ selling it. So I'm doing some research on it. I bought a Sony Dynamic Sound F-V320 for $30, but when I tested it, it sounded awful. It was really quiet and had a lot of static. Then I tried my little microphone that came with our old Windows 95 (I just bought a Windows XP Dell Inspiron 1100 laptop, which is what I plan to use for recording) and it had better sound, but I still heard static. I want to make sure before I buy another microphone, that it IS the microphone that is making the static, and not something wrong with my computer. You know, sound cards and all that kind of stuff. But what kind of microphone should I go with (it'll all be voice and piano that we're recording)? I really have a tight budget (about $50 to spare right now, heh heh) so I can't get anything too expensive, but if it'll record good and last a long time, I would be willing to pay a little extra money. And do I need any special kind of software for this? I use the sound recorder on my computer, and I think it'll be fine. There's copy and paste so I can even multiply if I wanted to.
Anyways, I would really appreciate if someone had some answers for me. Thanks!~*Sarah*
