1.It's a weak mic.

2.how can anyone help when you havent said what you're recording with (cubase, cool edit, logic)? Do you have your sound cards inputs turned on? Is the mic line active?


3. It's a DYNAMIC mic so phantom power is NOT required.


4. *NO* pre amp on this planet is going to make THAT mic sound GREAT.

When you go to PREFERENCES and click AUDIO is your soundcard and driver SELECTED? If not select it.


What sound card are you using?
