I give music lessons online and want to upgrade the sound to include an external mic with an interface (Focusrite Scarlett 2i2). Which mic has least feedback? I don't mind dynamic one - how about the Shure 57 or 58? Should I get a shotgun mic instead? Which brand?
Thank you in advance for helping a newbie out...
Hi,
Reading the manual to AT BP40 I've noticed it is defined as "front addressing microphone with in-built pop filter", but in pretty much all youtube videos where people are using it, they address it from the side (approx. 45 degree angle). Is it just about "try what works best for you" or certain way is actually preferred? Thanks.
I've got a 3630 compressor that works great with my AKG C1000 condenser mic but when I use dynamic mics (e.g. CAD D10) I get nothing but hum. The dynamic mics in question all work fine when not run through the compressor. Is there some issue or something I'm neglecting with using dynamic mics?
Why I record with Fraps (or simply unmute mic) does my cheap desktop mic from Best Buy record and two channels and my AKG D5 dynamic mic only record left channel? I can switch mics while recording and it will switch between the one channel and two. The problem could be my cable connection into the sound card. My mic cable on the D5 is a xlr.
If I wanted some compression on my acoustic before it hits my audio interface, could I put a compressor in between the mic and the interface? If so, what are the cons to this idea?
The term "dynamic" refers to any microphone where the source of energy for creating an electrical signal is the sound wave itself. This category includes moving-coil, ribbon and moving-plate designs (used in espionage!).
such as the sm57? got a friend coming in who insists on using the sm57 for recording his voice and i've never recorded vocals with it before. should i let him sing right on top of the mic with his lips touching the grill like he does at live shows? or should i try to get him to back off 6 inches or so like with condensers ? should i use a pop screen?
Hi, I was just wondering real quick, where should the dynamic mic be placed in relation to the mouth if you want it to pick up higher frequencies?
show me what you've got. i'm very interested in hearing the differences between some of these:
sm57
beta57
md421
i5
e609
on sources like these:
electric guitar or bass
hand percussion
acoustic guitar
brass / winds
