I've been trying to set up for home recording and am loosing my mind trying to get vocals into the computer.

Here's what I have: Studio Projects C1 mic, Studio Projects VTB1 pre-amp, M-Audio Firewire Audiophile, Sonar 4, Sound Blaster Live soundcard. None of these is very intuitive or came with an adequate description of how to link them together, and no setup I've tried works.

I want to start recording my songs, they are basically acostic guitar and vocals, but I'm wondering if anyone knows what a good basic microphone would be and software for my pc, or any other equipment i might need. right now the only equipment I have is my guitar, and computer.
thanks

Hello there, Thanks for taking some time to read this.

I'm having some trouble with my Vocal Recordings. to make this a little bit easier I'm going to write down what my Set up looks like.

Sound Card/Interfase: Emu1820.
CPU: PC 3.0ghz, 1Gb Ram, 200Gb HD.
Software: Nuendo 3.1 and Also Cubase SE
Vocal Mic: Shure KSM44

i am looking for a condenser mic and mixer/preamp that will generate pro quality for me on a $600 budget.

Please give me some suggestions, as i don't know too much about what i should grab!

Hello,
I have recently been recording some demos, and I am happy with my results thus far; however, my vocals don't seem as full as the other intstruments recorded. Now, most of the intruments (guitar, keys, bass, etc.) have been recorded using multiple mics and tracks. My questions are:
