 |
|
What kind of mic should i buy to get an O.K. sound just so i can listen to what im doing and so i can show my friends and stuff. I want to be able to record straight onto my computer the cheapest way possible, but without it sounding like total crap. I dont want to spend more than $50-$75.

I have a mic which is probably more than 4 years old (i dunno, REALLY OLD THO!) and it is brill for recording my drums. Any mic will do just to hear yourself drumming. I have the mic and pc at one end of the room and my drums at the other end (my bedroom that is) You dont need to pay loads if you just want something to look at and see how good you sound.

Since your just wanting to se one mic to capture the whol thing to save money. Then I would sugget using a condesor mic because they pickup very well from distances. the only thing is it requires phantom power. and also try and find one that as a flat frequncy response this way it trats every thing evenly. If you could find one for a decent price it would be really great for capturing great sound with one mic but it might just b ceaper to buy real cheap drum mic kit.

No this wont really sound good as dynamics work best at close range.
A condensor mic is out of the question since you dont have a source of phantom power (unless you go for something like an AKG C1000 which takes its power from batteries but is expensive and has an XLR output).
What would be good is a small stereo mic which you can buy in that price range. I have a small sony stereo mic (i think its an electret mic not condensor) which runs on 1 AA battery and sounds really nice. Has a minijack out as well so ideal for plugging straight into the computer.
Ill go find the model number for you now: Its the Sony ECM-MS907
I would go for one of these it gets really good results and I think its pretty cheap.
So in short:
SONY ECM-MS907

update: it costs $70 from amazon and has a 5 star rating from alot of customers. |

Plus the great thing with the SONY ECM-MS907 is thats it actually two mics (a middle and side combination) so you can switch between the stereo width.
With this one you would be able to hear ride on the left and snare on the right type thing so should be alot more pleasant to listen to that a basic mono recording.
