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.

Hey, this is my first post so i apologize if i sound like a noob. I'm still pretty new to recording and have cheap equipment but am surprised at how i can get it to sound... SO FAR. I have limited access to a computer so i can only check replies every few days if that. Anyways, onto the quesitons.

I've heard mixes with lots of layered vocals that sounded with a precision I think humans are unable to obtain. I know a well rehearsed group can do awesome things, but these recordings were so precise as to be "machined", sort of a "dynamics-tune" instead of "auto-tune".

Hey guys, quick question about recording in Pro Tools 9. I have a saffire pro 24 interface and when recording with an AKG 220 mic, the levels are fine but when looking at the waveform, it is extremely large. so yea. That is a picture of wat I'm speaking of. How do i make that look normal. it looks like its peaking but its not even that loud and i only had the gain on my saffire to 4.

Hi all! I'm putting together a home studio and am looking for some recommendations before I buy.

As for my situation, I'm recording spoken vocals for audio-only video games -- essentially radio dramas with some interactive elements. For now I only need to record 1 actor at a time, but I want my studio to support more than that in case I need multiple simultaneous actors later on.

I've been getting into composing my own songs and although I'm not a practised or very good vocalist, I get by. I have been recording a mate doing vocals and apart from the fact he's a far better singer than I could ever hope to be, I find his recorded vocals sound far better than mine. It's as though I make a better job recording him than I make recording myself.

Hi
Tasked with enhancing audio composed of interview vocals done with inexpensive lav. I'm using Adobe Audition currently.

Somewhat of a novice, these are the 4 effects I KNOW I need to apply.

This is a band I have been listening to for a long time, and I have always been amazed by their vocal work. This following track is no different:

any ideas for a 1000 mic for modern pop vocals
