Mic for home recording-Stuck between 2?

Posted: January 23, 2012 – 11:27 pm

I have boiled it down between the MXL V67G condenser mic or the Shure SM57, I realize that both are different recording types, but am trying to figure which one I will be best off with all things considered.

Equipment

-M-Audio MobilePre USB Portable Audio Interface
-MBP with Garageband
-And I will be wanting to record melodic/folky/alternative-mainly acoustic guitar and vocals with this arrangement.
-Budget is around the 100.00 mark and really just want anyones advice on benefits in recording with both if you have any history or know anything about them.
-First time recorder so really trying to just know i will be alright for my first home studio set up…

Thanks in advance
or gals : )

I would go with the MXL between the two you listed. Although the 57 is a great dynamic mic the condenser will detail the style of music & vocals better IMHO.

Help on home recording studio setup?

Posted: December 30, 2011 – 1:14 am

ok, i have a basic setup, (audacity, keyboard) But need a bettter mic! I found the Behringer C1 which is a condenser for about £30! The reviews are good, but does anybody have this, or had experience with it? Also, would i need to get a small mixer, or could i carry on using the one i have? Im using a mixer with a built in amp, its designed for PA! ANd im using a portable keyboard, but would a midi work netter?

Any help appriciated!

The Behringer mic will need a mic nput with phantom power. You will have to check to see whether your mixer has this.

That is a great mic for the money.

A USB audio interface is a great way to record too. You will need one with phantom power too:

I have no opinion on the keyboard, but I would try it with the new setup before getting a new one with MIDI.

Shipping Container Recording Studio.mpg

Posted: December 20, 2011 – 8:00 pm

http://www.containerstudios.com is the No.1 provider in shipping container recording studios in Australia.

We feature complete recording studio control & tracking rooms – all built within portable 20′ shipping containers. Perfect if you’re looking to work from home; schools; living in a remote location; or inner suburb where sounds from either outside or inside can be kept to a minimum – and being shipping containers, they can easily be winched up onto a tray truck and shipped to wherever. No need to lease that commercial property!

The actual containers are ’single trip’ 20′ pallet wide high cubes. Built in China very recently, sent out to Australia fully loaded, then left at the docklands – meaning virtually no chance of rust or structural issues and ensuring the longest possible life for the studios.

Basically a room floated within a room. There’s a massive drop in the level of sound, getting either inside the studio or out, due to both the decoupling of the inside room from the outside structure, as well as just the sheer mass of materials used, and the different mediums sound has to travel through.

Spark One Container Studio complete control rooms and tracking rooms work – and work well! I’ve been recording in my two container studios for over 6 years. Check out some of the recordings and view pics of my studio setup at www.spark1studios.com

What are the boards called used in record studios?

Posted: December 19, 2011 – 8:06 pm

They are kinda like walls but are portable and have a kinda carpet like texture. What are they called and where can i get them

Acoustic panels are easy to make. Just take half inch plywood and cover one side with self adhesive carpet tiles. Another material that works well is the foam matress pads. If you don’t need the portability, you can apply carpet tiles to the walls or install heavy drapes over the walls.
