Matt I do not know about you but I like most folk want to sound my best on any recording I make. That entails learning the craft and buying decent gear and knowing how to use it. If you are happy with a radio shack mic plugged into an old tape recorder then fine. You have a PC but do not know how to record with it then fine. If you do not want to listen to good advice not just from me but from others who are all trying to help fine.
