Hey balls thanks for the reply, Yes I am using the firepod for I/O,but that whole card issue is pretty unclear to me. Is my signal somehow still hitting the soundblaster? Do i even need to worry about it?
I dig the idea about the AT4033 and the handbook. I,ll have to go to the shop and give that mic a listen. If it sounds right ,we may have just saved $700.That could go towards a Neumannn this summer or maybe I'll eat.
Thanks for yr input
my last post got a little screwed up ill try and fix it

I really hope you're not using that Soundblaster card when you have a Firpod sitting there. The Firepod is what you're using for I/O, yes/no?
I don't know exactly what you should blow your $1200 on, but you should get an AT4033 and THE RECORDING ENGINEER'S HANDBOOK by Bobby Owsinski. You'll still have $700 or $800 to play with and you'll have a great Vocal/Acoustic/Utility mic and a couple hundred pages of wisdom to work into your flow.
