lol most of my songs wen i was recording.. the tv was on, sis on fone, fan on.. etc.. all these things were loud as hell n on.. but u can never hear it on my karoke mic haha.. but now got a new rode nt1-a and the mic is clear as hell, now everything has to be quiet as hell, n i gotta put 2-3 blankets over my modem aka computer cuz the fan in it is not too loud, but loud enough for the mic to pick up.. lol but yea.. i dont buy things i know i dont need.. jst wut i need.. like mic, stand, cables, pop filter, and pre-amp with phantom power in it.. after that all easy =P.. but still bout 450.. cuz mic wont play without the phantom power.. i jst got the pre-amp to have more power for the mic.. oh n if it wasnt for the discount.. it would cost round 900-1200 bucks..would have spent more, but realized dont need it thanx to that info. bout tuning your mic, it helps alot.. but takes for ever and alot of patients to get the tuning aka eqing right...

but it could have been atleast 400 buck.. cuz some of the things i have for the mic i could have gotten for a cheaper price.. but cant buy online. dont have credit card haha
