The recording from the shure 58 mic was always blaring when recorded on my computer. Whether I kept the mic close to my lips or away. The on off switch on shure 58 mic did not work.I ended up returning this product. May be it was just my luck. Took the 20 % restocking hit as well.This was my first time when I was trying out home recording equipment. I ordered the microphone first, then i realized i dont have any cables to connect it to the computer, then ordered cables, mixer (behringer 802)(see my review of the behringer 802 also, uca 222, stand etc.I ended up returning all the items, but I ended up taking more than a month to try them out, hence the restocking fee.For those interested in home recordings, this video might be helpful[...]
