Multitrack microphone "build-up"

Forums

So, if you use the same mic over and over to build up layers of sound, say, vocals, what can we do to prevent that "buildup" that occurs as the mic's particular eccentricities become emphasized?

Solving this problem would be a great boon to those of us who are very limited in our mic selection. I only have 3 mics, and only one of those is a pro mic, and it is an SM57!

Condenser microphone

Forums

Hi I am wanting to record guitar /vocals on a laptop.I have a very basic microphone,when I record, and listening with headphones,through the laptop,I get a delay.I am hoping to get a RODE condenser microphone.[RODE nt1-a bundle]Can I plug headphones to the condenser,and if so will it stop the lag,as I won't be listening directly to laptop.Any help would be great . .Thanks

Frequency sound (squealing) through mic output

Forums

The issue I am having is that my microphone setup is outputting a squealing noise. I can describe it as a high pitched, frequency sound, that changes pitch constantly, kind of as if you were to wave both of your hands frantically in front of a Theremin. I can hear the sound when recording using adobe audition or other audio recording software, as well as when using "Ventrilo", or Skype.
