True but it could also be powered by a 9 volt battery depending on the mic.

now so now i need that... obviously to power the mic./

Yes depending on the mic. No if it can run off a 9 volt.

we recording off a computer in cakewalk at home. now would a regular preamp work?

Solid state or Tube, Yes.

cuz lota folks are sayin i need to have a mixer.

Not required they are INCORRECT.

Go from the pre amps OUT into your recording interfaces INPUT. BTW what are you using as a recording interface?

but we on a budget so i aint tryna spend money on shit i dont HAVE to have u kno
