Here's what the guy is doing:

Recording gospel music, but nothing professional or anything....recording singing on soundtracks with his PC and recording sermons.

Right now he's plugging the mic into the PC jack and recording into Cool Edit. However, this is something he's trying now, he was doing all of it with other equipment, recording to tape, then transferring it to PC.

He's attempting to cut out the equipment and just go straight through the PC. This would cut down having to leave his house to record, since he's lacking for room to set up the equipment he uses. (I'm really not sure what it is, so I can't go into details.)

Anyway, he's not looking for professionism, but doesn't want it to be horrid. He'd also like it to be as cheap as possible. (If he couldn't do it for fairly cheap, he might as well do it the way he has, wouldn't really be worth paying hundreds for him to switch over.)

So, basically, what would you suggest he needs to do this?

It's just one mic and soundtracks (which are recorded from disk to cool edit), no band or other singers.

Thanks guys and let me know if you need more details.



His system Specs:

AMD Athlon XP 2600+
512 MB DDR Ram
(Not sure of the sound card or mic, so list a suggested card if you don't mind)
WindowsXP Professional

the mic and soundcard are key factors....
if he was using a condensor mic before...it might not work without a pre-amp....

but anyways.....I really don't understand the question...
Has he tried it yet?
Did it not work?
does it sound lousy?

a little more specific info as to what you need to do would be helpful...

Sounds like all he needs is a preamp for the mic.
 
M-Audio Delta 1010LT.

The only thing I don't know about it is phantom... If it doesn't, the cheapest Behringer sandwich-sized mixer can supply the phantom power and other inputs can be used for everything else.
