    get a preamp. try a presonus blue tube preamp from musiciansfriend.com. you hook the preamp up to your sound card. you need a sound card with a 1/4" jack.or if u cant afford it get a 1/4" to 1/8" adapter to hook it up to a normal adapter. youll need xlr mic cable to go from the mic to the preamp. then u need a cable with xlr on one end and a 1/4" jack on the other end. you can get that from radioshack.
