Glad you warned me Big Jim. thanks!

So far, I have been using a headphone chat mic from Radio Shack to sing in that cost me 7 dollars.
I also position it on some recordings around my keyboards built in speakers and my guitar amp.
I also have a 4 dollar standard mic I put in my acoustic for my few acoustical tracks.
I never got around to getting a clip.
And the one singers mic I tried a few years back seemed to have a lot of hum and static and overpowered the computer.
It was an old mic I bought at a church sale and thought maybe it was'nt meant for the computer, or in bad shape.
But it seemed to work on my tape devices.
But obviously the USB ones are a pain too.

Maybe some people have a use for USB mics, but all I have heard has been negative about them.

I think that might be my paranoia with all this computer based recording equipment.
I'm surprised I bought my TASCAM interface.
But it's an improvement in a hundred fold.

Even through my cheap mics there is a lot more clarity.
