Required info - Recording Mike

hi , i basically record from a computer headset which has a mike attached , but offlate the quality of recording is not turning out good. Can someone suggest a superior mike with which i can record on the computer. .

 

Get the shure PG 47 or 58

 

Edit: not 58, 48

 

How much do those mics cost?

Editing is what the 'EDIT' button is for

 

The headphone mic's are one of the worst quality mics there are, certainly for recording purposes. If you want to make some good recordings, you then have to buy a professional mic, but they are very, very expensive. If you can afford, you certainly have to go for such a mic, otherwise i suggest to start with a good karaoke mic, for homerecordings these mics are good enough!

Just read this to find out some more about microphones and all about home recordings:

Btw, i've made some recordings using a karaoke mic, i don't own a professional mic, just listen to my recordings and decide if you are satisfied with the quality, otherwise you should go for a professional mic!!!

I can't afford a professional mic, and don't really need one either. How much would a karaoke mic cost in India?

 

I really don't know how much it will cost in India, i'm from the Netherlands and here i can buy it for ca. 10-20 Euro!

 

alright, thanks Keoraf

 

Will the Shure micrphones connect to computer ?

 

budget = phillips. Those are ****ing awesome IMO. Ive got 3 of them for band recording. Costs about 200 bucks each

got money?
shure SM 57
although i use a PG57

 

I could use the edit button if it did not show as the quote button when I needed it! Thanks for point it out though

 

All the pro mic that you get will be XLR.
Which means 3 pin balanced output.

However for plugging to your amp, you require a single 1/4" jack, or single 1/8" jack for plugging to comp.

So you require certain wiring knowledge and some soldering skills.




Crypt: you can get teh mic from me, if you want.
Its a Nady SP-1

 

has anyone used Samson C01U Condenser USB Microphone , how are usb mics?

i dont have an amp so i would prefer a usb /analogue connecting mic for the computer.

 

Hey Smitzonian, before you decide to buy an USB microphone just take a look here:
