A big part of the reason I don't record myself is because of the masses of complexities in the chain. Mic>cable>mixer>usb>computer or mic>cable>computer all have elements that could be causing hiss. I'm not suggesting audiophile-grade stuff, but unfortunately it's difficult to know where in the chain the hiss is coming from. Could be how the software renders things, could be at the 'in' stage. I'd wager it's the soundcard, but it could be iffy USB port or anything else in the chain I'm thinking that the mic itself won't be the problem - you can get 'hissless' recordings with (shit) laptop mics (not recommended as those speakers aren't adequate for anything).
Best bet - find a mate who knows what they're doing, and ask them. Or PM Terminal Pharmacy, he may lurk still (he was not that long ago...)
