Yall spend a lot on shit, why don't yall actually use it then. To the ones who don't record or anything.

I have this crappy dell mic that came with the PC. And been in a actual studio rapping atleast 10 times. Male, 17, and people say i kinda got a mid-deep voice.

Check my response to LF's post. That's the hardware needed for a set-up that's a lot better than average.

Just know that hardware alone ain't gonna make your stuff sound pro. your recording habits are gonna be the biggest influence, and the environmental noise where ever you record is gonna be a factor too. Don't let this thread fool you man, the hardware is the easy part.

Preciate man. Most likely it's getting set up in the basement. So there really should be the much noise. The info was really useful and stay up.

man there's gonna be noise everywhere..if u got a old house it can creek..people can be walkin above you and the mic will pick that up..anything can happen to cause noise really..

Chris Styles, no prob man.

Oh yeah, basements are the home of echo with those nice concrete walls. Thatat's the type of environmental noise I'm talking about, because the same stuff that's lost in the mix on an unmixed set-up becoems REAL clear on a mixed one.

And you're "officially an audio engineer??" :huh:

ohhh yeah, the 9000 had some big ass box with like 7 or 9 or pins on it's XLR in it and the included 240v power supply that was heavy as fidduck, which would mean it's not a condenser. You're right!


what sound qual you getting with it? I was getting less than stellar results with it, even after purchasing a presonus tube pre to mate with it and both just sounded umm..how do I put this..."not good". Cold when the warming effect on the pre was turned down low, and straight up muddy and like pure ass for the regions that the warming effect was turned up, which was like the back 3/4ths of the dial. How have you been making out with it?
