THe noise has been cut to less than half, which is a big first step. But
there is still too much to make a descent recording. I'm hoping to get a
next step for the experts, you guys and gals.

Keep in mind, I am not looking for perfection, just something that is
reasonably good.

The mic is an Audiotechnia ATM41A. Sound Blaster Audigy 2 24 bit card.
software, SoundForge.

Where are you placing the microphone? And is the output of the preamp
running into the line input of the Audigy card?

Peace,
Paul
