Subject:recommendations for microphone and sound card?

I haven't found any reviews and recommendations of the hardware that is best for recording to a pc. Right now I use a mini DV camcorder with a Shure microphone but would love to record directly to a pc to save time, and the weight of the 1/4 connector promises there will be trouble, for a pc card or for a camcorder, for that matter. The microphones that I find reviewed are usually intended for voice recognition.

It is very hard to make such a recommendation. There are so many different factors :
- What do you want to record ?
- mono or stero ?
- what level of quality?
- and how much do you want to spend !

I suggest you go to the newsagents and arm yourself with magazines that appear to be on the same wavelength with your aims. They will be full of suggestions.
