"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

It had no means to plug it into my computer. So I bought an XLR to 1/4" converter, and then a 1/4 to a 1/8 converter to plug into my computer, howevre, this isn't working...

Line In doesn't work, the microphone slot doesn't work...whats up with this?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

isn't it best to get an audio interface so you wouldn't have to run it through 3 different converters?

That's probably your best bet. Get yourself a mixer, or even an old tape deck, plug it into that, and run the output into your PC.

You need a preamp numbnutz! You can't just plug a mic into your consumer grade soundcard and expect magic! :kick:

I will show you some:

http://www.zzounds.com/item--ALEIO14 (Im buying this soon)

and if you want to get "that sound"

http://www.zzounds.com/item--AVAVT737SP

MY advice is to get an interface like the Alesis io14 up there, and avoid using your computers soundcard at all for recording. That way you keep noise low and can get the sound real loud.

Also, avoid M-Audio products. They are cheap as hell and sound like it, and they have alot of problems too.

Did you ENSURE that not only are the microphone settings UNMUTED, but turned UP, microphone boost (if appliciable) turned ON.

Now, not many people catch this quickly, but in your speaker settings, you ALSO have microphone settings that have to be enabled.

That, and buy a $3 brand of microphone with a cable and everything to check that it's just you forgetting something else.

I have a TASCAM US-144 USB 2.0 audio/midi interface. It retails for $200.00 but you get what you pay for.
