The first thing we need to do if you havn't done it yet is to plug your microphone into you computers sound card input. If your microphone is to big to fit into one of the ports then you probably have a 1/4 or quarter inch jack on your mic. You can get a 1/4" Stereo Jack to 1/8" Stereo Plug Headphone Adapter at radio shack for about $6.00 US. Or just buy a new microphone, but its problably cheaper to buy the adapter if needed. Calibrate Microphone, Assuming that your microphone is now plugged into your computer you need to make sure that your sound card has the microphone input un-muted. To do michele watches this go to your computers control panel (on a PC / not Mac) and click the icon or link that says something like "Audio Sound Devices". I say "something like" because it depends on what version of windows you are running as to what it says. Click again if the box below does not show up.
