K, This is Pretty Hurting, but....

I wanna do some shitty recording on my laptop. I have a couple of sm-57's, but the laptop only has a 1/8" input. I need to run the two mics into the laptop so that I can record in stereo to cubase. How can I do it?

Thanks!

Hey, mcolling.

You could make a really good recording with a Tascam US122. It has the mic pres you'll need. I didn't have trouble with the USB.

I made the recording linked in my signature line with a US122. Give it a listen and tell me what you think. Thanks!

You really need a preamp ... sorry! Pick one up like the Behringer UB802 (~£40 I think) which has two pres, then get an appropriate cable to connect the main outs to one stereo jack. It might be easier to get it with a 1/4" jack and put a 50pence adaptor on the end.
