Hi!

I think I solved my problem. I was running the system through my laptop before. I tried plugging it into my desktop and doing a little demo yesterday. And it didn't turn out absolutely terrible! I think my laptop sound card is inadequate for recording vocals...the desktop one might be a little better.

For sure I know practice is key! I'll keep going since now with the different set-up I feel I have some potential, lol. I'm not looking at music as a career but rather as a hobby, which I think is the best way to have fun at what you enjoy doing

I'd still like to know if anyone is willing to tell me:

1) Has anyone tried the MiC by Apogee?
2) If I wanted to use something different as a pre-amp or mixer (rather than my HUGGGEEEE roland amp), what would be a good set-up?
3) What is a good sound card for desktops and for laptops, for recording vocals?

I'll just clarify on my interests:
-I'm most interested in electronic/dubstep style music
- I might want to do some rock-style

So I'm not against applying some effects to my voice. As this is for fun I don't need top-top grade studio quality, but I'd like the best I could achieve on a smaller budget :o)

Thanks for any and all help!
