Hi,
So I'm using a Shure SM58 to record on my desktop, and it sounds pretty bad. Lots of static noise, and it actually sound worse (not even taking the static into account, but just the voice quality otherwise) than my Galaxy S7 when recording using its built in mic.
I'm connecting to my desktop via a Marshall MXL Mic Mate and using Audacity.
Should I get another preamp? Are there any other fixes?
Edit, I turned down the "level" (?) on my MicMate preamp to low, and the quality sounds better, but the static persists. I also plugged in my Antlion ModMic (another microphone) into the same USB port and there is no static.
Thanks
