Thanks for all the help guys. Here is how the set-up is sounding. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpQr1N6f9y0 any other feedback on where i can go from here would be much appreciated. - Anton

Hey guy's and thanks for the informative replys, as a noob i really appreciate it, I went out today and got my self a cheap audio interface, only 27 pounds but already there is an amazing difference from recording straight from the mic jack on the motherboard. And that only me using a cheap interface. The current setup I have is this: Also should have mentioned before she has her own PA system, its a Bheringer Europort EPA900. Little did i know i could have the mic and keyboard (Yamaha PSRE423) hooked up to the PA on 2 different channels on the pa. So as it stands the the moment the mic and keybaord are on 2 seperate channels and the pa has a tape out (the old aux red and white L+R) I have this outputting to the input of the cheap audio interface which is called Chord AUSB2. I have learned so much about music in the last hours it is unbelievable! so thanks you very much for the replys. Also what do you guys think of that for a setup? is it ok? with regards to the keyboard, mic, pa and well not so much the audio interface but it does the job. - Anton.

Hey guy's, Let me first start off by saying I am not Music savvi when it comes to mic's and all the recording hardware and software. Basically my sister has a shure beta 58a and she want's to start recording her own songs on to the computer. I thought, being a pc geek, it would be as simple as plugging the mic into the mic port on the pc (once i have it converted from xlr etc). But after much reading I am hearding i should get an external usb sound card (on the laptop pc) and use that (although I dont know why, again I am not music savvi). So i thought I would come on here and ask from some advice from the professionals! I know that i can go ahead and convert the mic to be used in the mic input jack on my laptop but I want to know what the drawbacks of doing that would be. Also, just wondering if any one could help me (once I get the mic setup) to get my sisters voice sounding like this, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIHrkqBFUL4&feature=player_detailpage by this i mean the actual effect that is put on the voice its all most like a slight hall way sounding effect but at the same time its piercing and soft, thats the only way i can describe it. I have also heard Quebase is the program to use when it comes to music production. Any help is greatly appreciated. Cheers, - Anton.
