What is the best mic to use for recording a vocal group of 3-4 people at one time. Some say uni-directional and some say omni-directional. please Help. Thanks!

RODE Mic:

Announces the release of the RODE iXY stereo microphone for the Apple iPhone and iPad, as well as the RODE Rec audio recording app for iOS devices. RODE launched both today at the CES exhibition in Las Vegas.

I know this question comes around quite often but here's what I need:

My friends and I are recording some Hymns. As "unconventional" as it is - We are all doing it from our own houses (different states). I know the quality will not be GREAT but for our lives, it's what we can do.

Much disputed! The engineers and piano tuner/designers of "TuneLab", "Verituner," "Sanderson Accutuner" etc etc--all high-endpiano-tuning programs tell you, basically, NOT to spend money on a measurement microphone.

I'm in the market for two nice condenser microphones and will be recording voice recording onto portable recorders like Zoom H4N.

Build quality and sound is a must, Will be using XLR inputs.

Can anyone please give me some input on what you think is best brands and models ?

My price range is 100 $ to 300 $ each mic.

Thanks for any help you can give me !

Hi everyone,
I'm new to the audio world and I want to record some voice-overs and videos spending between $ 50-100.

The best options I found so far (maybe I'm wrong):
1) An USB mic such as "Blue Microphones Snowball USB"
2) A normal mic, such as "Shure SM48-LC Vocal Dynamic Microphone"

When I got started with recording my band, I thought you just tossed up some mics and recorded and fixed t all in the mix. I have learned a lot since then and recognize where our limitations are for space, etc. we use a rented space that has some treatment. I have Logic at home and a Yamaha AW1600 for mobile recording. Have KRK VXT4 monitors.

Hello everybody.

I posted a thread a couple of weeks ago about an old AKG C34 microphone. Now, I decided to sell it, because it's too fragile and narrow for my use. So; I just got a Maycom field recorder (Easycorder), and now I would like your view on which mic-setup that would fit my use. I work as a radio journalist / podcaster.

Hello there. I initially saw reviews and video samples online of the Samson G Track and it seemed to work ideally for what I needed.
But I got it today and I have to say I am a bit disheartened.

The sound is extremely distorted with a lot of white noise. I tried fiddling around with it a bit such as lowering it to 0HZ on the Microphone settings but to no avail.
