Well, with no info on any of your equipment, it's rather difficu
Well, with no info on any of your equipment, it's rather difficult to even make any guesses.
How 'bout some info about how, exactly, you have the microphone plugged into your computer - such as the make/model of your mixer or mic preamp (if you're using one) - What connection you are going into, and if you have any adapters or special cables involved.
Information on you sound card would be good too.
If you are just plugging your mic into a generic sound card, it could be that the mic preamp sucks, and your soundcard sucks, and you are probably picking up noise (through the mic) from your computer. If you're recording space isn't quiet, your recording won't be quiet.
I suppose there is also a chance you are recording very poor quality digital audio (8 bit, for example) - what software are you recording with, and what bit-depth and sample rate are you using to record?
