As recommended by a reader, I took his advice by getting the affordable Behringer Microphone Preamp that costs about $69.99. I just ordered this baby today, and I should be getting this either this weekend or early next week. AMS orders are usually quick. The Behringer preamp has phantom power and when I get this, I’ll be able to use the Shure SM86 mic. This Behringer Preamp has been getting great reviews too so it looks like it would be pretty good! I think I’ll definitely be able to play perfectly clean without any background hiss or humming sounds with this thing so I can’t wait to get it and try this out!

I just finished completing a song in Cakewalk Music Creator today both vocals and the guitar. When I get that preamp… I’ll re-record the song over again with that so it can sound a lot better. Can’t wait to get that preamp and to that reader who gave me that suggestion, thanks. I hope this piece of gear is what I’m looking for and hope it’ll work successfully — I’m sure I won’t be disappointed!

I really want to be recording songs again ’cause I got tons of ideas in my head and I really want perfectly clean studio sound with them. I might even get this tomorrow.

I’m beginning to see that maybe people really do see something special with my music after all. In facebook, I keep talking about how I’m writing songs again, and people has been giving the posts thumbs up and telling me they’re looking forward to them. It’s hard to tell whether if you’re liked or not. Again, I can be my own worst critic!
