do you guys know where i can get one of these? cause i asked a guy from simlim and he said it doesnt exist, but ive seen it on youtube before... hmm...
 
to make things easier to record i guess, cause currently my mic is connected to my mixer which i then connect to the line in of my com. i don't know if doing that adds just a little static noise to the recording, but anyway i guess if i had a direct usb connection to my com it would solve latency issues if not give me better quality recordings, plus it'll make my desk so much neater. lol. it was smth like this

chickenbonez : somehow I missed this thread, I don't know which guy you asked at simlim but this categorizes under audio interface than "IT/PC" section. so if you asked a pc shop he wouldn't know.

alright lets go ,
1) http://tinyurl.com/diyrecording for better understanding.
2) in your case mic > XLR > *XLRtoUSB audio interface+preamp*> PC/DAW
3) there're numerous XLR to USB preamps on the market. you can check with www.hungbros.com whether they have this http://www.shure.com/americas/produ...problem-solvers/x2u-xlr-to-usb-signal-adapter

but do your research if 1 "preamp" audio interface cost alot (i'm assuming they do) for portability , you may be better off with something line6 (if you're using condenser mic make sure you get at least Line6 UX2 cos i think UX1 doesn't support) , or m audio (http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/MobilePreUSB.html) and may come up to be cheaper or more upgradability for cost efficiency.

hope this helps
 
Am probably a little too late in replying.. anyway, have seen the Blue icicle on sale at a store in peninsula plaza. can't recall the name of the shop, but its definitely not among the most famous guitar stores everyone talks about. it's in a little corner; shop with a see-through glass wall and they have a traps drum kit on display that looks a little like THIS

Alternatively a simple little mixer like THIS should serve your purpose and give you a lot more control.
