what mic to get?
 

ok i was thinking bout getting a mic and starting to make some audio here soon...thing is i have no clue what to look for in a mic...i dont wanna spend that much starting off or anything so something cheap that sounds decent would be nice....will i need anything extra to hook it up to my comp?...if you got any suggestions lmk.....

well u get what u pay for basicly......
but dont go out n by some...Head Set Mic..or a Mic With a Clip for like 5 dollars...u gotta be willing to spend some money....
try this go to a Music Store...and Ask For a Audio Tecnicha Dynamic mic...they run from 49 to like 200...but they dont need power...all they need is a 1-8 inch addaptar..to go into ur computer...thats prolly ur best bet...cuz Condensor mics are the best u can get..but then u gotta run into a power source...n those mics alone cost like 200 at the cheapest

no...at least get a condenser and a pre-amp...

its not worth wasting money on dynamics...unless its a pimp one like the Shure SM58 - but that needs a preamp too.

anyone else with any suggestions?.....

get a condensor and a preamp

any audio head with one shred of credibility is going to tell u to get a condensor mic and a preamp. It's more important to get a good preamp rather than spend money on an expensive condensor with a shitty preamp.

actually i was just enlightened about a new mic.. usb.. - if u want good quality but cant afford a condenser (which is prolly the case) get a headset usb.. they run from 40-50

^wow

NO

lmao... i didnt touch it when I saw that lol. im glad someone chimed in lol

hhahahah postman do you "read the mail" you supposed to be deliverin.

if you a broke ass kid who doesnt know the beauties of pushin drop $10 on a labtec computer mic. plugs right into any soundcard slip a sock over that joint and you done. i use that and listen to my quality its actually decent.

for decent dynamic get a shure sm58 prolly run you $150

if you can drop like $400-500 get a shure ksm27 and a decent preamp.

im prolly gettin like a akg c4000 iono yet my re ups goin into clothes for now.

ha i use the sock trick too...but if you got a good music program.
all you need to do is compress the voice and add effects to it and you can make it sound like you was in a booth...

no u cant. it wont sound really bad, but it wont sound like a mic booth

^you guys are all a bunch of spoiled PEOPLE. EVERYone cant afford a condesor/preamp.. speak in reality.. these kids aint trying to build a booth to make real shit.. they gonna make some wack ass net songs... SO STOP TRYING TO GET THEM TO BUY EXPENSIVE SHIT.. they know nothing about nothing yet... shit.. everyone aint got 300 dollars to spend right away for a mic.. shit id rather go to da booth to record a track for that money.. but for some net shit get a usb.. fuck what these cats tell you... you aint gonna make it no where on the net so y spend all that money??? if you tryin to do some serious shit go to the booth and cut a demo...... EVERYONE aint rich.. shit people gotta eat.. so stop living IN ALICE AND WONDERLAND. YOU AINT GOIN NO WHERE ON JUST A PC AND A MIC... so dont go waste all that money if you aint plannin to be SERIOUS........... and thats realll...

^ yeah im spoiled....i ahve a job and make beats to feed me...but im spoiled....

ive moved from:

Computer mic -> Dynamic -> oktava condenser -> AKG 3000....

HMMMM

now i have a dope soundcard and a dope set of studio monitors...

all of which have come frome sellling beats...

but im spoiled right?

its called GRINDIN...you should try it sometime

um its called a hobby. and a cheap dynamic mic would be way better than a freakin headset for the same price. and u dont have to have a $300 mic to have decent quality. You can get a condensor for as low as $50. Nobody's spoiled. I work for everything I get. and we're not gonna tell someone to get a headset microphone and say itll be str8 cus we think he might not be able to save a few bucks for a real mic. We're givin audio HELP, not ways to be cheap.
