recording on PC with a condenser mic
Forums
I'm wanting to start doing some podcasting, and I have found an inexpensive condenser mic that I think would really work well. I'm wanting to know how to interface this mic with my PC. Don't I need some sort of preamplifier? How would I connect it to the soundcard input?

Humidity and caring for condenser microphones
Forums
I have two MXL condensers mics that I've been using quite a bit recently. I have been leaving them out and set up for my convenience.
As we are getting into the summer (Philadelphia, PA), I was curious whether the added humidity they will be exposed to would be detrimental to the mics (we have no AC in the house).

Pickup/condenser mic recommendations for performance
Forums
Hi:
I have a Taylor 714 that I am particularly fond of. It is an exceptionally rich-sounding guitar for both recording and performing. The Sunrise sound-hole pickup I've been using, however, is getting on my nerves.

How big is the diaphragm of AT2035 Cardioid Condenser?
Forums
AT2035 Cardioid Condenser Microphone
I can't find the size anywhere on the net.
In a previous topic, someone mentioned that the AT2020 has only a 1/2inch. This mic seems to be the same thing, but with a pad and rolloff. I am guessing it has the same size diaphragm, but I don't know.
Is having the roll-off and pad worth an additional $50?
Any help?

Best Vocal Condenser under $150?
Forums
I was looking at the MXL 990 and ruled that out (with your guys help!) And am thinking about the AT2020.
I could find that for $70 at a shady website, or for $100 at musiciansfriend or sweetwater.
Are there any option major options I should be considering?
I understand that they are all cheap, but my mortgage isn't
Thanks for the help!

Dynamic or Condenser?
Forums
I don't have a professional recording space, so my vocals come out with a lot of background noise. I have an Audix i5 dynamic which is meant to mic guitar cabinets so the amount of gain I have to put on in post-production just to hear it is ridic, this also boosts all background noise.
