decent/good especially with the equiptment you already ahve would be the co1u that EVERYIONE is getting.....

round 70 if you just get the mic on ebay.....if you get accesories n up it can be around 100
well worth it tho

to be honest.. dont waste your money on that mic.. it pays off to just save up like i did and get a decent setup. the samson is booboo when it comes to condensor mics.

as a matter of fact. for 270-300 (includig tax more like 300) you can have decent to good quality man..


http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/FastTrackPro/
^ M-Audio Fasttrack Pro (with phantom power switch and preamps) $199

MXL 990 (about 50 bucks to 70 bucks depends on where you buy it)

find a nice quiert place to record, and you will have good quality. Opey on RB uses that mic, of course he has a fuckin mbox with protools, but you'll have pretty good quality with that setup yo.


and its only 300 bucks.


just save up and buy something worth buying

word i seen one of them jigs. its a good card. but it dont have phantom power on it i dont think. which means you need to cop a preamp also :-/,.... your better off coppin a MXL 990 with a 100 dolla preamp.. could run you around 170

Yeah bro. 170 not bad. Like i have LOTS of money like GRANDS. im just trying to make my purchase worth it. you know what i mean? tired of this computer Bs. But Calam what i really want to know is. Alright for the studio's. you usally don't record on the computer. So what setup would you have to get too record in a booth without the computer right beside you. Ya dig what im sayin?

dont be son. the computer is where its at now. ALOT of studios use computers for the recording and shit.


see for a home studio, all you need is the mic, monitors, booth mixer/interface. and acomputer. you can get some REALLY really nice quality, like real cd quality with the right mixing skills and mastering skills.


keep the computer in the mix yo. thats why they make mic chords so long.


my suggestion to you, since you have the cake. im being real here.


for the quality you look for. its gonna run you about 500-1,000. I could have REALLY good quality. I just lack a quiet place to record, i lack a good prrogram to mix with and i lack Good cables and cords and shit.

my suggestion is to fuck with a AKG (reasonable priced one for the quality is like 199) .. a Groove Tube.. a Rode (what i use).. and some other mics are quite decent..



right now, if your mixer has phantom power. your set. just Build you a booth out of wood, and put studio foam in it. cut a TINY hole for the cords to come out and you set. Cop a Good condensor. I recomend a Rode NT1-a or a AKG 2000 or 3000. i forget but they both go for 199 and they are GREAT for the price.

get at me man. i got the knoledge i just lack the cake haha
