I have recently figured out how to record my Clarinet on the computer.
I was listening to my version of the 3rd movement of the Weber 2nd Clarinet
Concerto, while reading this response to my sad humor. (Talk about vanity). From the way it sounds I may find out what
the qualities of A flat Clarinet really are. After I finish stomping on it. (chuckle)

All seriousness aside; Has anyone had much experience recording a Clarinet into their computer. I have
some questions concerning equipment. Microphones, sound cards, etc.

Presently I'm using (please don't laugh) a $50 dollar Radio Shack Omnidirectional Microphone through a SoundBlaster 16. Frankly
it sounds better than I thought it would. I am primarily using it to tape my practiced sessions so that I don't reinforce
problems.

Any suggestions
