Hi.
I'm very new to all this.
Bought an old Sure SM58 Mic and Tascam US-100(USB) to hook it up to my PC. How disappointed I was to find the noise coming through my headphones when the Mic was connected. And it increased much more when I touched the mic. All the cables I'm using are new. I don't have input or output values set very high, I've tried different settings but the electric hiss continues. Is it a bad Mic?Is it an earth problem? I notice there is a small "signal GND" knob on my Tascam. What do I do with it? And is that where the problem stems? Please help.
