Whats up with the mic situation? -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:Whats up with the mic situation? Posted by: Jimmie Date:2/9/2000 11:49:00 AM Im having no problem getting great tone recording my instruments, but when it comes to recording vocals I cant figure it out. Ive got several real nice mics but no matter what Ive tried they just dont pic up the signal from a natural human voice. (by natural I mean no amplification.) So far the only way I can even get the signal loud enough is with a regular old cheap pc mic, and they sound horrible. Im completely baffled.. Please, someone tell me what is the best mic and/or way to record vocals? Thanks
