Yes... I am very much a noob at studio setups/equipment routing. I'd like to know what cables I need to start recording on my PC.

Hi I'm new here so don't be too harsh. I have a USB condenser mic and was wondering if the soundcard on the computer affects the quality of the USB? I tried this mic on a computer and a laptop and both have different qualities. The computer was much better. Laptop could not handle it.

The title explains it all.

Just wondering if it is possible to record with a USB Microphone and the Microphone Input jack simultaneously into one recording program as two different channels (and also one channel). The reason for the distinction is to record and be able to edit the two separately, and also have both be audible.

I plan to begin podcasting. Also, know in the future I'd like to record vocals and keyboard (but not immediately).

I just bought a Samson G-track USB Microphone and was testing it with the included Sonar LE software. In my opinion there was a lot of noise when I listened to some of my voise tests. I tried different settings on the mic volume control. Up untill half power there's noice. At a volume of 3/4 the recorded sound easily gets too loud when singing too close to the mic and that ruins the sound.

Hello everyone! First off, I hope this is the right section to post this, if not I apologize.

Now then...
I have searched everywhere and I cannot find out how to set up two USB mics to record at once but with two different levels.

Software I have to record are...
- Sony Vegas and Sony Sound Forge
- Reaper
- Audacity

Hi there!

Hi

What do you think is the best way for me to achieve this for the least additional $$$ outlay? I need to record a female speaking voice for an audio publication, via my PC. The result needs to be really pleasant to listen to for an hour or more, meaning warm, clear vocals with no annoying noises.

What's everyones opinion on recording with a USB mic? I'm looking to purchase the Blue Snowball USB mic. Just wondering if anyone had any feedback, sound quality, stuff like that.

this is real 'recording on the cheap', I'm trying to capture an accurate room sound (assuming everyone miced and going thru the mixer).
