Hi guys,
I'm a total newb to recording, but I'd like to get my feet wet and start monkeying around and adding some vocal tracks in to FL Studio on top of my electronic diddies. One day I'll save up enough for a nice Korg synth
So what I have so far, is a Shure SM57 and M-Audio DMP3 preamp, and a Planet Waves XLR cable going between the mic and preamp. Now just waiting on the 1/4" cable and 1/8" adapter to arrive so I can plug the preamp into my laptop stereo 1/8" line-in.
My question is, I don't have a decent soundcard in this thing, it's an "IDT High Definition Audio CODEC" - I know it isn't an ideal A/D interface for recording but is there going to be a problem as far as quality goes, like static in the audio track or what not? Is it going to be the bottleneck in terms of having a nice clear sound on my recordings?
Thanks for any tips or explanations you guys can provide!
