C-100s Condenser Mic?

A studio should be supplied with a variety of microphones.  Even the SM57 Shure has a real place in a studio when recording a guitar amp through a microphone.  There is no one microphone that is a "do everything" microphone in a studio.  Only through trial and error will you find the right one for each application.

The cheapest way would be putting a mic up to your stereo with the record playing, and with some kind of audio converter (M-AUIDO makes nice ones) hook it up to your computer.

Probably just connecting it through an input transformer with a 150 ohm input (mike) to at least 10K ohms ('puter) output would suffice.

You could try what the previous user mentioned, but a better way is this go here:\n\nStart -> Programs -> Accessories -> Entertainment -> Sound Recorder. Just press the RED button, start talking into the mic, hit stop. Then play what you just recorded. Works like a charm.

yes, you can use the microphone input on the sound card for the mic, or a USB microphone.  Personally I believe the USB microphones are better.  You get better sound quality and you have a digital connection the entire way.

Does it work in other applications?  Have you tried windows sound recorder application to see if it works there?  Do you have your mic plugged into the correct jack?

Your speakers make be too close to a cam with a mic?....  There should be an adjustment on your speaker icon (accessories in windows).  Try turning it down with the slider and see if it makes a difference.  Also try plugging in a pair of earphones and see what it sounds like.  If it sounds OK from the earphones, it definitely is your speaker setup or maybe the speakers themselves.

in your chat sftware you must have some options to configure the audio input device. in some there is am oprion to select wav file or something like this. the other way is i find software whitch will redirect your audio otput directly to the mic chanel. and the last option is to make a cable connection between audio output and the mic input.

some stuff at wal mart that is a foam type substance its about 4-6 dollers a can and it can be used for alot of different things other than your CRT. It is anti static and works well. Can be found at wal mart in the computer accesories area where the mics and cams and mouses are sold

Nopers.  PC's generally don't include microphones.  You can pick one up for like $7.00 at Target, WallyMart, BurstBuy, etc.\n\nThey are very easy to plug in ... don't worry, you won't fry anything.  Just plug it in and test it, if it don't work, plug it into a different hole (Story of my life ?)

Another way that may work is go into your control panel, then into sound options, From there mute your microphone. It will still work but you will not hear what's going in and probably not the buzz.

If you can find a cheap microphone, probably at radioshack or some such store, that is all you need to buy.\n\nOther than that, to record onto your computer you can use the program audacity ( http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ ) It is completely free and totally user friendly.\n\nOf course, you could always use a Walkman :)
