They did a really nice job of filtering things so that while obviously
it has no high fidelity, it's really pretty excellent quality for a
tiny mic like that. I was totally amazed. However..once I try to
render it with apex..it turns to totally intolerable crap sound. This
is not subtle. It tosses a big old aliasing sound on top it appears.

I just stuck in a newer sound card I had too..went from a 128 sb to a
live. We'll see if that helps anything I guess. Thanks for the
hints. -Bob
