I was wondering what is better, USB microphones or just regular plug in microphones?

Also, what program does everyone use to record and distort voices???

i dont know which is better out of those two but to record voices most people use sound recorder. start-accessories-entertainment. and to distort voices i think you can use a program called sound forge or something like that.

Well, it depends upon the quality of your soundcard's input jacks. If you're not sure about the quality or if the quality is bad (like, you have an onboard soundcard), get a USB mic. If the quality of the jacks are good.... Then a USB mic is still your best bet, just to be on the safe side.

And you're better off using programs like Audacity or Goldwave for recording. Sound Recorder lets you record, sure, but it doesn't let you edit the recording for length, noise reduction and whatnot. But if you're not worried about any of that, go for it.

the USB is better if you use a USB perAMP XLR microphone audio box.

I use the Socom Navy Seals PS2 USB mic for recording.

It works great.
