Those who use a MXL 67g, How do i get the best sound results?

[jingsta215]

I have a ART Dual amp usb interface.
and i have a Nady shockmount with a metal pop filter
I use Cool Edit pro 2.0 to edit my vocals and record, however the results of sounds arent so good after its been edited. i can hear alot of SSSS hissing and stuff. I bought a non usb mic to have a good sound in my voice.. Anyone know the problem?

THanks!

Seems like your maxing out at some point in your audio chain.

What is your record level? Turn on Monitor Record Level by right-clicking the level meter (usually at the bottom of the screen) and checking that option. Now set your level (using your interface) while singing into the mic. The meter in Cool Edit should never get near the top of the meter (0dBFS). It should peak below -6dB and spend most of the time around -12 to -18dBFS.
