After purchasing my new, super-expensive, super-professional mic equipment from Radio Shark, I rushed home to try it all out. Unpacked it, put it together, hooked it up, and even spit polished the entire setup to give it that really professional look.
It totally sounded like shit. WTF? Apparently, the soundcard on my laptop wasn't built to handle a super-expensive, super-professional mic. Every time I recorded my voice in Audacity the sound level was sub-terrainian low. And when I used Audacity's "gain" control to bump up the level, all the background hum and shit got bumped up as well making it sound even worse. I even tried using Window's "mic boost" option to no avail. Shit.
The more expensive stuff is, the more better it's supposed to work, right? Yeah right.
