But uhh what's the "best" one go for around? I'd just be fine with an ok one really

if you don't know shit about computers then you might benefit fro masking a different question.

like "do i need a sound card?"

the answer would be no.

look up "fasttrack USB". it eliminates the need for a soundcard.

^man I was lookin' @ that and it sounds like it's just like a pre-amp. But why spend 100 when I already got a 100 dollar pre-amp? Or Did I search the wrong thing? lol

__________________

it's not a preamp it's an Interface and it works completely differently. preamps don't translate pure sound, they put their own flavor on it, just like sound cards and every other analog device. interfaces have zero flavoring of their own, they just transmit the sound and get out of the way. sonically speaking, they're completely transparent, you'd have to spend close to a thousand bucks on a piece of analogue equipment to get that transparency. btw, you can record on an interface to your computer with NO soundcard. Soundcards are for analogue gear, not digital.


...you know...digital gear in the digital age...just like your mic?

word? So like the one I linked to would that be good? cuz i'm running low on cash. like also by getting that so basically I don't need to use my current pre-amp? Or would using that too help sound better? but word for the heads up.
