Need Help on Microphone Input for Laptop

[ALAN E NORTH]

I ordered a Vocopro Mark-CV1 from some outfit in New York; it will take a week to get here.

This is what I ordered:http://www.savinglots.com/lotprod.asp?item=MarkCV1

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.
