Do you plug you dynamic cardioid microphone straight into your computer with a 1/4 to 3.5mm adapter?
no, i have what's known as a "crackle box" which is when you go to the store to buy an audio interface and you ask them 'is there really any difference between the 100 dollar one and the 25 dollar one' and they shrug at you, and you take the 25 dollar one
