Xlr Cable Basic
Which cable/adapter should I use for an MXL condenser mic?
I have an MXL 1006BP condenser mic that I've used for previous recording projects. I'm switching gears these days, moving towards self-recording, and only using software (I originally used software, but have exclusively used hardware over the past year and a half). Since I don't actually have any mic cables, that's my first need. But I'm also trying to figure out how to connect the mic to the computer. Should I get a USB adapter (or an XLR to USB cable)? Or should I just stick with an 1/8" adapter (or XLR to 1/8" cable)? Is one or the other going to give me better sound quality/reliability?
I'm definitely working on a budget here, and I'm more or less looking for the most basic/inexpensive thing I can find...and it looks as though the 1/8" option is going to be excessively less expensive than the USB option...but is the sound quality going to be as good? Any good, relatively inexpensive options you recommend?
Buying the software is a better idea.

Soldering an XLR connector to an Audio Mic Cable aka Soldering 101
help with recording acoustic instruments and vocals?
okay. i have Sony Acid Pro 6 on my Dell Inspiron 6400 and i need to know what specifically i need to buy for recording mainly vocals, acoustic guitar, and other acoustic instruments (piano, xylophone, strings, etc.)
i am kind of on a limited budget, but i have been looking at package with an AKG C1000S and a Perception 200 condenser mic along with headphones, two XLR cables, and mic stands.
thats all fine and good, but here is where i get lost. audio interface? phantom power? preamps?
i would like to be able to mix guitar tracks, backup vocals, and the like. and i would prefer to spend under $1000 for at least this first basic setup.
please, i am really quite clueless about all this, so the more specific and step-by-step the answers, all the more helpful.
thank you in advance.

Tons of great information.
The shure sm57 mic is the industry standard for a lot of vocals and instruments. I have a couple and they live up to their good reputation. (not sure about piano) Most professional condensor mics dont require internal batteries or individual AC power supplies in order to work. Instead they are designed to be powered directly from the console through phantom power supply. Phantom power works by supplying a positive DV voltage through both conductors of a balanced mic line to the condensor capsule and impedance preamp. The output signals of most mics have levels too low to drive input stage of most recording systems, so mic preamps are used to boost its signal to the appropriate levels .
A few different types of interfaces. Like, PCI, USB, and Firewire.
Basically you need this to run your software. Here are a few http://www.zzounds.com/cat--2418
