I will be singing (R&B, Reggae, even doing acoustics) and rapping (Hip Hop and Rap). Not exactly sure what you would consider my voice to be like, but I assume, deep/low when rapping and higher when singing. I'm just starting out so hopefully you guys can give me some advice on what mic I should get for my vocal work.

I'm looking for a new vocal microphone, and I could really use your help to figure out the one that works best on my voice. So I've set up a poll to see which mic people like most from my my shootout. I ran the mic shootout at the local recording studio, but I used my own Echo Audiofire Pre8 preamps (cause that's all I own).

It won't be long before we are using an iphone to record 32 tracks . How long do you think before this happens?

check out another iphone product from RODE mic.

RODE Mic:

Announces the release of the RODE iXY stereo microphone for the Apple iPhone and iPad, as well as the RODE Rec audio recording app for iOS devices. RODE launched both today at the CES exhibition in Las Vegas.

I'm in the market for two nice condenser microphones and will be recording voice recording onto portable recorders like Zoom H4N.

Build quality and sound is a must, Will be using XLR inputs.

Can anyone please give me some input on what you think is best brands and models ?

My price range is 100 $ to 300 $ each mic.

Thanks for any help you can give me !

We want to use a wired lavelier microphone to record a lecturer in a classroom. The microphone will plugin to a camera that is installed somewhere on the ceiling or wall.

Check this one out:

TrueMatch® Reference Microphone Converter – Stage Tec’s high-end A/D converter for accurate and optimum sound imaging features an excellent 28-bit resolution and a dynamic range of 153 dB (A) with sample rates of up to 96 KHz (version-dependent).

Wish I would've found you guys sooner. Excellent responses and advice from the moderators; nice to have such a supply of recording veterans out there. I've played a lot more than I've recorded and for some reason, I've always been lucky with friends with good mics, and didn't have to invest in much till now.

Hi everyone. First post here. I have a little home studio setup in my room... condesor mic, padded walls and a vox guard to try and get better sound. Im having a few issues that I cant address.

I recently bought an Equation Audio F20 Mic on the adice of a friend in Nashville, TN. I wanted something a bit better for acoustic guitar, for $600 or less, preferably less. I found a couple used ones for $250 each. Have to say, I really like the mic.
