Where does he get such wonderful toys!!!!

Okay, I've already done a lot of leg work in my quest to become a podcaster (not sure what that is? Click here). I've tried different combinations of sound cards, headsets, microphones and machines. But I think I have finally found the best setup for what I want to do. Last weekend while beginning to clean out my grandmothers place, I came across a RadioShack microphone and stand. I brought that home with me and tried using it with the sound cards on both my desktop and laptop with varying degrees of success. When I finally discovered that the line in on my PC was the best connection I had (the mic input suffered from horrible electrical noise), I decided to purchase a mixer. Of course being the impatient little boy that I am, I couldn't wait to order one online (like this one) , so instead I ran out to RadioShack and found this little beauty on sale. I hooked it all up with my iPod as an input and using the microphone from Illinois and it works WONDERFULLY! Now all I need to do is find the time to make my first cast.....

Till next time,
