Hi guys

I am currently considering setting up a computer based recording studio.
I already chose the recording software but when I tried the microphones
I bought from currys etc the recording is pretty bad.

My idea is to have a small foldable soundproofing booth in the front
room, a good quality mike, a good soundcard and perhaps some sort of
equip that goes between the mike output and soundcard input ? mixer.

If anyone can shine some light on it, I would appreciate it. As you can
see I am a newbie to this.

Is is a mixer or preamp that I need to be able to connect good quality
microphones to the soundcard input!

Also my budget for soundcard and microphone is around £200 . If anyone
has any suggestions please fire away. It will be used mainly to record
voice.

Thanks
