I have been trying to record using a mic and a quarter inch to eigth inch converter. I am attempting to record a piano, guitar, drums, and vocals seperately to get a semi-decent demo. I have not been getting very good results. I am basically looking for a mic that i can use with my computer and without having to spend over 200 or purchase an interface.

Hi, I am new here :) i'v started recording some vocals and at the moment i'm using just a $10 headset to record my vocals. and i want something that records with better quality. I have little knowledge in musical equipments. I understand that i need a preamp ( i just want to record my vocal) and a mic? but I'm using a standard pc soundcard. do i need adopters for the pre-amp?

Hi folks,

Hello Everyone! I've been looking for a forum like this for a while now, and its funny to find out that all along there was a Recording.org! Nice!

Anyways...

I'm looking for a good and cheap vocal mic. It will be used on all kinds of vocals, all from the highest pithed female vocals to deepest male vocals and metal growling and screams.

I don't have a big budget as I am a poor student ;) but I would rather prefer that you'd recommend a little expensive mic over a crappy one :) Just the best for the money.

thanks in advace.

Hi everyone,

My current "monitoring" setup is a pair of Boston Acoustics CR8s hi-fi speakers and a Yamaha subwoofer. I get some translation issues with this system, especially in the upper mid-range.

I'm considering going with either a set of cheap monitors (under $500, was looking at MSP5s) or getting a pair of Avantone Mixcubes. I plan on leaving the BAs connected as well.

I have an ART Tube pre. I just tried to fix it with a groove tube but it didn't work are there different types of 12AX7 tubes (not brands)? The designs between both look much different.

Im looking for a good, cheap combo amp in the neighborhood of $299 or less. Somthing that will sound good with a mic jammed in its speaker. I don't know how many watt's or what size of speaker you would want to have to get a good sound for recording.

PreSonus Inspire?

I'm looking for something for my friend who sings and plays piano and just wants to get a relatively clean recording. Right now she's just using her computer's built in mic/card and getting very noisy results without the ability to adjust the input gain. So I'm looking for a very simple firewire interface. Budget is the main consideration.

I would like to improve the quality of my vocals a bit, but I have no money. Would this make any noticeable change?
