In turms of internet broadcasting, if you have a two sound card setup with a mixer, and even if you don't have a board there are some really inexpensive but decent ones out there, I will recommend the Cad GXL2200/2400-series for internet broadcasting to the ends of the earth. At $69-$79, you cannot go wrong. If not, there are some like it that i haven't heard, but no the technology very well that cost about as much that use your USB port, like the Samson C01U. These would be good if someone wanted to use a line recorder type situation. I'd honestly try those first, and then try an Audio Technica ATR30 mic which I think sounds jsut as good as a 58, and then go 58. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Skarstad" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
