Microphone compressor and mixer

[Richie]

I currently have a T-bone SC440 USB Microphone, so I need something thats compatible with that. I have a budget of about 100€ / 90£ish I need a mixer & a compressor for the microphone. Any ideas?

Maplin are horrifically overpriced.

Why did you buy a USB microphone? All the mixers and outboard compressors I have used take XLR or jack connections, not USB. Your best bet is going to be doing it all software, use a software mixer (the windows one) and use software compression. It won't be as good as outboard, but I don't think you have any choice.

Yeah, as Matt said... Don't know why people even buy USB mics... Would be better buying something like a Behringer C-1 and a phantom power unit... and then adding compressor etc... Anyway if your just wanting the compressor for online radio theres one built into SAM, not amazing but its okay...

I bought a mixer - and a basic condenser microphone from maplin - and for some reason the microphone works fine from the audio port on pc but if i use it on my mixer - going to my pc via a line in the sound quality is crap microphone all disorted and stuff
