You need an audio interface and the software drivers will be on the installation disc that comes with it.

http://www.tweakheadz.com/guide.htm Mike, before you put any more money in this, go to the above link and read. There is no point to buying nice microphones and freestanding preamps then feeding them into a built in computer soundcard. That link should keep you busy for awhile but is pretty...

Congratulations, that's a very nice mic you have there. The only advise I have is to keep it covered when not in use.

I have the Heil Heritage and I believe (I could be wrong) it has the same capsule. I believe they are the same as a Pr20. If it is the same as the heritage, then no it is not anything like an sm7. Almost opposite. On vocals the Sm7 is very full sounding. The heritage is very hollow by...

The thing is Mike, all this is really subjective. What works for me may not work for you. What I like to hear you may not like the sound of. If I were spending $300 or more on a microphone, I'd want to hear it first rather than take an anonymous strangers word for it. I have bought unheard...

For an all around mic, I think it would be hard to beat a Shure Ksm44. It does an excellent job on acoustic guitar and a very respectable job on vocals. It's the last of my condensers that I would part with includeing a c414buls.

That's why I suggested buying them used. If used is not an option then I don't have any real good suggestions based on experience. I like some of my cheaper mics but find them sort of one trick ponys. The ksm27 is pretty good if you have nothing to compare it to. I like it on acoustic guitar and...

You can find a Rane Ms1b for less than $100 new (I done it twice last year) or used. Couple that with a used Shure Ksm44 or Rode K2 and I think you have an excellent setup for what you're looking for at your budget. Even a used 414buls would pull you in on budget. I prefer the shure or rode for...

Maybe I'm on crack and don't know it but, I swear there was a discussion of 184's here last night. What happened to the posts?

If it were me in your situation, I would ask myself if I were more unhappy with the mxl pair or the apex. Whatever my answer were is what would get replaced first. No one else can tell you what YOUR priorities are.

Hey thanks. You gave me rep about a month ago and I just figured out how to thank you. Sorry but that's how it is when your old.

Thanks for the rep. I just figured out how to thank you.

Thanks for the rep. I just figured out how to thank you.

+1 Good advice.

Since you added "soft sounding" to your description, I'm not sure the sm7b is the best choice. I think you may be happier with a condenser. For "all around" use I think it's hard to beat the ksm44. C414 is a staple in this slot for many. In the end, find a way to try for yourself. That's the...

I use a firepod, which I believe has same or similar preamps, and I tired of the preamp noise when using dynamics (gain almost maxed). I got 2 MS1b's and haven't had any problems since. The ranes have 66 db of gain as opposed to 54 on the firepod and it does make a difference on the cleanness...

I prefer tube socks for a bit of analog warmth.

Justifiable is in the eye of the beholder. I like the sm7 but on vocals, in a mix, I think a lot of people couldn't tell the difference between the two. They are voiced very similar. I would try to borrow or rent one and decide for yourself. You certainly won't notice the difference between any...

Give it some time. I think I was a little let down at first, after all the internet hype, but I decided to live with it for awhile and slowly came to like it quite a bit. I really noticed it more in the context of a mix. In isolation it's pretty boring. Not that different to a 57 really (I...
