You need either MIDI software or Wave software like Adobe Audition.

You would be looking for a program, I don't believe a mic can do that. A high quality mic would get rid of backround noise and things of that nature. Any audio program should do what you are asking for. Try some of the popular ones like Fruity Loops, Reason, Acid Pro, etc.

I had to take a few of mine to a local recording studio...most of them have the technology to do it! Good luck!

Try audacity. It's free and can do what you need. Great program!

Are you talking about Windows Live Messenger/MSN Messenger?  The best I can guess is that maybe your drivers aren't properly installed, and the computer isn't recognizing your microphone.  If you want to start conferences with your friends, try Skype.

You can get a sound card from many companies ... try http://www.creative.com .. it's good .. and not that expensive ( 50 - 80 $ )

have you tried a different microphone? if you get same problem then its not the mic, if you dont have another microphone see if someone you know will let you try it on their pc.  If it is the microphone then they really arnt worth trying to fix for what they cost to buy.\nIf the mic works on another pc then its your sound card, i know you say youve check setting but run then again, if still no joy then uninstall the sound card, reinstall, install any drivers you got for the soundcard and then go through your set up process. once you have done that you can go into Control Panel find sound options and in there is an option to test your hardware. This will then give you a test on you mic and feedback.\nGoodluck

Winamp and Shoutcast work well for me, but a lot of people are fond of Sam3.  Can't go wrong with either or, but Winamp and Shoutcast are FREE!

Go to Control Panel then to the sound section. Mess around with it. Also look in the same section and make sure your mic isn't on mute.

There are a number programs that will record directly from your sound card. I used to use aaa real recorder (but it could only output WAV files - maybe the latest version has support for MP3s)

My favorite, and it's free, is http://audacity.sourceforge.net .  There are lots of free plug-ins available for it, too.
