Ah, ok

Personally I'm very happy with the preamps on the 1616M, and I get hardly any noise even when I crank it up to 3/4s. For the price it's an excellent card, and with the M-version you als ...

Just out of curiosity, why do you need a preamp if you have the EMU1616M? I have one myself, and it has quite nice preamps, and should provide you with more than enough gain for recording just about a ...

SM58 is certainly good enough for vocals, in fact it's excellent for vocals, at least certain types. It probably isn't the top choice for recording a classical singer (never recorded anything like tha ...

Well, main problem here is that your question is too vague. First off, like Remy already hinted, the software is not going to make a huge difference. Sure, there are plenty of plugins and modules for ...

The Kaptn has covered most of it in his excellent post, just thought I'd add a few details based on my own experiences.

I'd be very careful about going with Vista. I'm running Vista myself on a Del ...

I will choose free will.

Hehe, yes indeed...what mic would you use to record a celestial voice? Very Happy

Hanging any mic causes a different sound, as compared to having it on a stand.
Have you ever noticed that on a stand, it points up to the roof of the mouth, and the nose, hang it, and it points down. ...

What program are you using? Just curious really. You may want to add a little bit of compression on your vocals, just to smooth them out, but not too much.

What you want to work on is the music. M ...

Ok, not pretending to be a hiphop fan (as my nick might indicate), but as a mutual EMU user (got a 1616M) I'll give some feedback anyways.

Like Remy said, don't think you need a new mic, to be qui ...

Davedog has it right, opinions are plentiful and many not founded on anything solid. I can give you some input on EMU since I actually own and use an EMU 1616M PCI. I've had it for some 5 months and h ...

Have to agree with you Remy. When I started out I had only an SM58, and I always thought it sounded so dull. So I totally fell for the condenser hype and got myself one. It turned out it didn't help m ...

Well, there is no way you will be able to block off the sound of that kit with any form of shield. I just won't happen. You would need to build a soundproof booth around it, and there doesn't look lik ...

Like Reggie said, please post your setup, it will make things a lot easier.

Your description sounds a lot like a problem I was having some time ago with Cubase. I would get drop-outs just like the ...

It really comes down to what you want or need. If you're just recording at home for demos etc it's probably a waste of good cash to spend $10k+ on a mic and pre-amp.
One thing I've come to understand ...

Ok, simple answer - you can't. There is no magic "setting" to make your recording sound better in Cool Edit or any other software. If there was, sound engineers would be out of a job Smile
