This is my first post, so hope I got it in the right place.

I have a simple home studio setup and a VERY cheap microphone. I'm willing to spend up to US$ 4000 for a new mic that suits my voice, but maybe it's pointless with my sound card? I use an Apollo Twin DUO sound card and only plugin preamps . I use Logic Pro X.

Ribbon vs Condenser, Please help choose which mic is best for singer

Here are two versions of the same song, written and performed by a client of mine.

We decided to try two lead vocal tracks during pre - production, ( we're not sure of either one yet) - on one take we used a condenser on the vocal, and on the other, we used a ribbon.

Hi. I'm new to recording and had a few basic questions. At least... I imagine they're basic.

1. I have a mic that requires phantom power - does anyone have any suggestions on a simple, good "clean" phantom power unit? Are there some features I should look for aside from just power?

Hey everyone, my buddy ask to help him w his home theater. So I figured I'd add a thread to keep all the construction and acoustics related to it in one spot.

Hello everyone!

Hey guys. I'm relatively new to home recording. I'm recording all my instruments either through midi or direct line-in. The only thing I'm tracking live at home is vocals. I bought an SM7b and I am using the Roland UA-55 Quad-Capture and the Cloudlifter to give the sm7 the gain it needs. Here's my question:

Only have $200 to spend. This is all I have to work with so please just list ones you would think are the closest to natural sound.
Either I buy ATH M-50 headphones. They are $120 and said to be flat, natural sounding.

hey guys.. i'm trying to improve on my recording:

First of all my I have to say Im new to this and my sole objective is to get the best possible quality sound w/ my limited resources.
