Hi newfriends!
I am a simple newbie with mic trouble I'm afraid, and was rather hoping someone may be able to lend me some advice.
I've recently purchased a condenser USB microphone (amazon dot co dot uk/gp/product/B07VT711DV/ is the particular one, though so far as I can tell they're much of a muchness) and it's very quiet and more annoyingly quite fuzzy when I record with it (I've just got it for voice recording, nothing too fancy). The quietness I can boost the decibels with it seems in the audio recording program, so that's not so much of an issue I think, but the fuzz and the static increase with it. Now I think the fuzziness is due to the USB connector thing itself or possibly the USB port, based on the fact that if I record with the USB in but without the mic connected to it, there's still the fuzz but of course nothing else.
I am a complete neophyte when it comes to this so it is speculation, but I was wondering if this sounds correct based on what's known about USB microphones, and if so whether it sounds likely that if I just get a phantom power supply and plug the mic into the laptop's input/output audio hole (not the technical term I expect!) it should all work properly. I've got a couple of projects I'm raring to go with so if getting a power supply or some other easy piece of tech off Prime is the solution then that would be ideal for me.
Any and all advice would be super-appreciated. Thanks in advance!
