I do a lot of computer recording, and I think my biggest weakness is a bad microphone. I have a really good video camera mic that I use, but still...
Anyway, I have been considering a good microphone (400 dollars +), and I am confused by all this stuff.
I don't have a mixer or anything, I have just been plugging my mic right into the mic port on my soundblaster live. When you buy a good recording mic specifically intended to do "one track at a time computer recording", what do you have to worry about in the ways of preamps? how about "phantom power"? one said it required that. Oh, also, what about impedience? I couldn't find what my sound card's was, but the mic I remember said it worked best at "1000 ohms" or something.
Thanks for any input
