Yes.
However, since you are willing to invest in a pre-amp, you might want to
consider getting a sound card that is geared at pro recording, that
INCLUDES a pre-amp. This is the path I have chosen, full analog signal
chain integration (tm). In my estimation you will get better quality per
price.
Perhaps something from Roland or M-Audio. I recommend FireWire due to
performance and flexibility (connect to a Mac, linux PC, linux laptop,
PowerBook, ...)

Hello,
The spare room in our house is used for both singing lessons and
computer activities. We are embarking on an audio adventure, with
singing students holding a Shure SM58 microphone which is plugged into
the jack on the front of the PC (a SoundBlaster Live! 5.1), singing to
backing tracks played through the PC speakers/headphones. This is for
them to practice using a microphone.
My question is basic, do I need a preamp for the microphone or is the
LiveDrive doing that job? At the moment the volume which is high enough
to hear through the speakers is very close to feedback volume, and also
sounds distorted.
Thanks!
