Back in the early days of digital recording, in the sonar forums, we had folks come in all the time using USB condenser mics and trying to get them to work properly. There was a sticky file we would refer them too for advice. Sometimes the advice worked and other times they would come back saying it didn't solve the problem.

Part of the problem was when you use a USB mic, you essentially have 2 sound cards in your computer.... the one that makes sound and the USB mic. The trick is to get them to sync up so they stay in sync as you do the recording. If one or the other drifts, you get vox that slowly get further and further out of sync as the song goes along. It was hard to keep their clocks in sync.

Perhaps that issue has been fixed since it's now many years later. My recommendation at the time and even now is to purchase a dedicated USB interface. Even though it's USB, it is a totally different device and actually works like it's supposed to because you set it as the primary in/out sound card for the software and it should be running ASIO drivers. You can then purchase an inexpensive condenser mic to use through it and your recording experience will be flawless.
