Hi there i'm a newbie in recording so i have a beginners question:
I recently bought an Audio Interface (the M-Audio FastTrack Pro) and recorded some stuff, which was really fun, and seems to have gone well. But when I tried to record voice, I didn't get the sound I wanted to. I have to say that my microphone is not the best one, and I am not expecting the greatest results, but no matter what I tried, it was always a bit muffled, "small" and not clear enough. It was like you could hear that it was sung through a microphone and not just the voice (Ok thats a bad explanation, but that was the first thing I thought when listening to the recording)
So my question is, how can I improve my vocal recordings? Should I buy a better mic (it's a bit obvious that i should, but I don't really have the money)?

posts a link to an EA DICE video about recording audio. It is quite an eye opener the difference mike type and placement can have on a single sound
