I've just tried my Alesis multimix firewire mixer with PE, and selected the Alesis ASIO driver in the audio hardware preferences, and selected channel 1 of the mixer which I've got a mic plugged into, and all is well.
The samson mic I'm suggesting is designed to interface with DAW software like Cubase, so should be fine with PE. But I'm sure that most decent dealers would allow you to try it on sale or return.

this is interesting stuff mark and chuck
what i didnt know is that a mic plugs into a usb...instead of the mic socket at the front...
the quality i need wont be high as my old method with a VHS edit deck was to just put a mic into a little mixer and feed it into the audio sockets..
i put the mic next to the CD player for music then took it away now and again to speak some narrative...that was sufficient
if i use this mic what do i do next to get the sound onto a track i can load into PE
sorry for any silly questions but i have never recorded onto a computer any music or voice..
i could play the CD as suggested and 'rip?' it as an mp3 or wav..some hint on how to do this would be helpful
i am using XP pro
i WILL!! learn this stuff eventually
many thanks
geof
thanks a lot and look forward to some extra advice on getting the sound onto tracks that PE can use.
