I've been working on making a recording of a rough idea for a song for my band. Me and my vocalist were trying to figure out how to get his Shure SM58 mic plugged into the computer for recording his vocals in good ol' Audacity.
We went out and bought an adapter so we could plug it into the mic port on the front of my computer, we thought everything would just be that simple and that it would work fine, but apparently not
haha
Then we tried plugging it into the pink port on the back of the computer, still nothing.
Here's the things I need to know for sure:
1) Where to plug it in?
2) What do my settings have to be in Audacity?
3) What do my "recording device" settings in the bottom right hand corner of the screen have to be?
Any tips to offer?![Scratch :scratch: :scratch:](http://www.sevenstring.org/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/scratchhead.gif)
