The problem is I dont have any different mic, because I dont have the money to get it :o Yeah, I was thinking of getting a mic preamp too when I have the money. What I'm trying to do with the POD is that I want to use the Tube Preamp preset in the POD.
I tried opening up the XLR end of the adapter but theres this plastic covering that I need to break :( . But I just read in the manual of the PODxt that the input plug of the PODxt is a unbalanced input. Is this mean I cant plug a balanced jack? I read this in www.tweakheadz.com
Q) Can you...
yes, I'm using an adapter because the POD accepts 1/4
I'm using exactly these cable and adapter i bought from zzsound

I'm using PODxt which is a guitar processor because i dont have a mic preamp at this moment and I've heard that the PODxt can give you some decent vocal result.
I connect my SM57 which is brand new with sealed box to my PODxt then from PODxt to my computer.

thats the cable I'm using and I think everything is grounded properly.
Could it be the cable? Do you think that cable is bad?
I always get a big humming noise when I use my Shure SM57. When I touch the body of the mic with my hand, the humming is gone.
I tried putting the mic on the stands and the humming noise is there again. So I have to put my hand on the mic to stop it. How can I solve this problem?
So in your opinion getting a soundcard & mic preamp is better than getting a mixer?
and which one is better for monitoring, through soundcard or through mixer?
I'm thinking of buying a Behringer mixer because I heard Behringer is good and not so expensive.
So basically, my music equipments are:
1) Guitar which connected to Line6 PODxt (guitar processor) which has a L&R out
2) A microphone which I'm going to get (It's gonna be either a SM57 or 5Cool
3)...
Why is the volume "-" like in -12.7dB. Isnt louder supposed to be "+"
Is there a guide of how to read all these stuff?
Sorry for being the dumbest person in this forum :o
I'm still a beginner on all these mixing/mastering stuff but i imported a commercial song to wavelab and i was looking at the peak of the waves.

In that circled area, I know...

but im living in a college dorms and i work at campus and i usually do my recording/mixing stuff at night cause its against the rule to play something noisy and i've been using headphones.
Is it better to use a speaker or headphones for monitoring?
I want to buy a monitoring headphones because its cheaper than speakers.
Which headphones you guys recommend? I'm kinda on a tight budget so I will be looking for the not so expensive one and at the same time with a dependable...
Thanks for the comments and yeah i know the vocal isnt very good. My friend is a drummer and hes not that good at singing. We cant put real drum because we're in a college dorms so you cant bring a drumset here :(
