Question regarding voice recording

Hey guys, Im sorry if it seems like im asking the same questions, but im a rookie at this so bear with me.... O.K....when I sing into the microphone, I cannot hear myself in the headphones as Im singing Like singing into a dead mic... what do I do..what can i buy?I didnt see an input echo option, so Im stuck right now... I just want to hear myself as im actually recording the takes.. (gives it more of a studio feel...) Please Help....Once again, I apologize if Im sounding like a broken record to some of you guys.....I just want to make a quality CD, and a solution to this problem will break everything else down for me.... Im using Music Creator 2

1. that is a midi track you are showing him there Beag!

2. to hear your self, in MC 2 you need to turn on input monitoring, however that will create another issue it will combine all the tracks as you record more.

3. What i truly suggest is to get a small mixer like a behringer 802 and monitor from there.

Yeah i suppose, see there i go being all mr persnikity again! dang it!!

Robomusic,

I know I've been asking you and Beagle about trying to get vocal tracks down correctly. My question here is if you're monitoring through the mixer does the input monitoring have to be selected or not? Or does it matter if it's selected or not. Does "What U Hear" still have to be off even if your monitoring through the mixer?

Thank you. Trying to get good sounding vocals down has been a real hurdle for me.
