I'm hoping this is the right subreddit to ask this in! (If it's not, hopefully someone can direct me to another.)
I just bought a Shure SM58-LC Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Mic and a CBI MLC20 Low Z XLR Mic Cable. I got the mic as a superior alternative to simply singing into my (not that great quality) computer mic, but I have no idea how to hook my mic to my laptop. I saw that I might need an xlr to usb cable, but somewhere else said that I might need an audio interface... Needless to say I'm very confused, especially since I've never used any recording gear before.
My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 5537 with Intel Core i7, if that helps at all.
Thanks!
