TeamOne 12-27-05 12:49 PM

but sumone tell me wat would be the best thing to get......... i have 200 dollars with me and im willin to spend it all (meaning buyin it with my parents credit card and than handin them the money for it, lol) like, im just gonna be usin this for recordin....... so condensor mic or dynamic?????? which one?!

Sean Gunner 12-27-05 12:51 PM

Condensor will pick up your voice, along with everything else around you better. Just remember you have to buy a pre amp with it too.

B. Magik 12-27-05 07:24 PM

Nah, you can do way better.

ya'll shoot down but give no suggestions

why do people do that? :confused:

(I also need a mic for fairly cheap so this will help me as well)

ok to be honest.. the mxl 990 is crap.. is low and its dull.. for the money i guess its a good buy, but 50 dollars aint shit, ya dig ?.. but if u HAVE to have something now.. get that and a presonus preamp.. ya shits still gonna sound bad tho.. cause you need a good sound card.. so i mean for the money and shit.. get a nice pre-amp and that mic.. that should do you OK.. but for real help id say go to RB.. they know more about audio than alot of places.. Opey knows hellas about studio equip and startin people up.. he started me up and im doin pretty good ;)



My setup:
EMU 1820 (sound Card and Pre-amp) - 500 dollars
Rode NT1-A (mic) - 200 Dollars
Studio Headphones - 29.99 (LOL - im cheap)
Computer - $1,599 ..

im about to invest in an Apple computer.. they are way better for audio than PC's..
and cheaper

yo is dere a mic n pre-amp combination that will sound GOOD with a standard stock PC soundcard? Or is a new soundcard essential to nice sound quality?

:thumbup:

Ca'lam 12-27-05 07:59 PM

^It's essential for good mixtape/CD quality.. but for just recording a net battle or soem tracks only meant for the net and cpu speakers...


any mic pretty much over 70 bucks.. and a 100 dollar pre-amp...

the reason for the good pre-amp is because you can use a pre-amp with a new soundcard or old one.. they can be used with anything..


shit.. even a shure 58 dynamic mic would be ok if you knew how to use cool edit.. its all about how you use ya shit.. if u get adequate at cool edit.. you'll have decent quality net wise anyday..


so just for practice and shit.. id say go ahead with the mxl 990 to get used to recording on a condendor.. the storage of a condensor and usage of it.. because if you get a nice one right out the box and fuck it up.. you'll be pissed off..
hope that answers soem questions
