What does 'putting a sock' over a stick mic do to make it sound better, sounds the same to me with or with out it. I dunno

Also, when using Cool Edit, can you like, recording half of a verse.. or maybe even two - three lines, then record the rest of a verse later, or mix the second half in with the first to make it full?
