Like Mark I ran over to Radio Shack and picked up one of their mics-just to see if it would work.

It didn't !

I'm not sure it is even a condenser type mic; it acts just like my Dynamic mic-and the package does not even say 'condenser' although it does require a battery and the guy in Radio Shack assured me that it was.

At any rate, when the Vocopro gets here next week, I'll try that one out.

I hope the problem is not the Soundblaster card.

However this plays out, I want to thank all of you guys for putting up with a relative novice and giving me the benefit of your advice and experience.

Al, I will make it a point to find that old mic this week and hook it up like your setup. I actually have 3 of those soundblaster externals. (I found another one while cleaning out my storeroom) If it is in fact a problem with your soundcard and mine works OK, I will trade you even swap. I don't need the mic input for my shows, so it wouldn't matter to me. I am currently working on a house I am moving in to and I have stuff scattered over 3 different locations right now, so give me a week to find it.
