Anyone into Audio (Voice) recording / editing on a PC

I need to record high quality (CD or high) voice. A Mic with a sound card did the job in the past but wanted to move to the next step in quality. So here is what I did

I bought a M-Audio Firewire-410

http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_u...e410-main.html

And a Shure Microphone (Model 8900)

The problems

1. I thought the M-Audio device will let me monitor the recoding live using a head phone, I cant find a way to do it.

2. May be I made a bad choice in Microphone, unless I talk loud the voice quality is very quite, even if the Gain o the M-Audio device is turned to full.

Should I buy Condenser Microphone ? Some thing like RODE NT1A Cardioid ?

What other options I should look at. The key criteria is to get pure voice (no instruments) in to digital form

Thanks

Jay
