USB Microphones + Sony ACID Pro 7 information

I wanna say "Hi!" first.. I might be busy later but not now.. so I wanna tell you guys about covering Kpop songs using karaoke instrumentals.. If you are good at audio mixing, you don't need to read this through.. you already might know..
First of all, I don't do covers because I am really bad at singing and I am not allowed to shout in my house.. ^^; I was just curious about how people do covers for kpop and found some informations on softwares and hardwares for beginners..

Yeah.. Not everything is free.. you might need to have a good microphone and an audio mixing/editing software to record your voice.

This is what I found.. My first choice.. Sony ACID Pro 7.. Yes, This is an old version but beginers like me can learn quickly and use for your cover without too much headaches. I thought about Adobe Audition but I chose Sony ACID pro because it looked much eaiser for me to use. and I can download it from somewhere.. ^^

Take a look at Sony Music Studio if you are a Windows Vista/7/8 user for a much lighter version of ACID pro.. I am a XP user so I would just stick with ACID pro 7.

This is ACID Pro 7 Basic Tutorial

Did you just waste about 15min of your life? I am so sorry...

You can just use Audacity.. It's free and a good audio editor. I sometime use audacity to record some sounds coming out of my speakers.. That's all I use it for.. So I will learn more later..

Ok! Now, I wanna talk about microphones.. I went over to amazon.com and found really cool USB microphones.

This is CAD U1 USB Microphone and it's about $25..
