Just came across this:

Hello.
Please advice a microphone to record voice for my iPad app.
In future I want to use it to sing in public places. I would rather buy wireless mic.
Price no more than $200

Thank you

Hello,

I'm doing some research on microphones for vocals and podcasting.

What would you recommend as a good starter kit for around ~100.
I will also consider things 'over budget' as well.

For now, I'm looking at things with a usb interface so I can use it immediately without extra gear.
The Audio-Technica AT2020 seems to do the job.

What does Transducer Principle : Pressure gradient microphone mean?

What is the difference in sound between a transformer and transformerless mic. Why would someone choose to use one or the other and is there a more specific micpre that goes better with either?

Hey guys!

I'm new here on this forum, seems like a great resource.

I own Standstraight Music in Stockholm, Sweden.

I wanted to show you my microphone shootout that some people like.

It's one with vocal, and one with acoustic guitar. Devided in in Tube, Ribbon, Solid State and Dynamic.

Everything from Shure SM57 to Manley Ref C.

I'm a classical composer and I'm putting together my own recording setup to archive my own works. The recordings do not need to be "professional level" -- this is for my own personal portfolio, not for any kind of wide distribution. I don't have a ton of money to budget, I was thinking maybe $300-400USD total for 2 mics that I could use for simple stereo recording.

I know this sounds like a stupid question, but I was wondering if someone could give me a dumbed down explanation of what exactly a microphone preamp is, what its benefits are over plugging directly into to an interface (such as an MBox), essentially how to use it, and what some decent mic preamp for not a lot of money.

I am looking to upgrade to a better quality microphone to record acoustic rock and alternative vocals. However, I am looking to stay within the $250-450 range. What are people's suggestions of some good mics. I am looking for a mic that records good clear vocals. I want something that really captures the vocal performance not the extra noise in the background (in my untreated room).

Hi all!

I'm a classical baritone singer and I've been exploring quite a little into studio recording. I have recorded quite a bit with my AT2020, and I was wondering what condenser microphones are there which will suit my voice better? I'm hoping to find one which is low in noise.
