Connect your microphone to the sound card. If you're using a dynamic microphone with a 1/8-inch plug, insert the plug into the "Line In" jack on the computer. If your microphone requires a pre-amplifier, connect the microphone to an input on the pre-amplifier using an XLR cable, then connect the pre-amp to the computer using a 1/8-inch audio cable. Turn on the pre-amp and turn its volume up.
