I hope you find these listings helpful. If you are like me, you need a little bit on information before making a buying decision. Here’s a description of Mono Microphone for you.
My Microphone won't pick up ALL my vocals! Help!?
Hi, I am in a starting metalcore band. I have been screaming and singing clean vocals for almost 3 years of good solid hard practice. April of 2009, i bought a Samson C10U usb Condenser Microphone (they are like $185 [I included the tax] here in Ontario, Canada). I only need a mic for recording purposes, which this mic does a EXCELLENT job at... at least it did for a while... Just recently... coincidently ever since I got my new laptop (Toshiba Satellite L500) things have gone down hill when i record my vocals. I have always used and gotten the hang of Audacity. I don't know why now, but when i go to do a long scream for example, it will only pick up like half of it, then Mono Microphone the other half goes missing, or sounds distorted. I don't understand... It can't be the laptop... it is very decent, and way better than my last computer. Here are some specs so maybe someone can help me out?OS: Microsoft Windows Vista (Home Premium) [64-Bit OS]-Intel Pentium Dual Core Processor T400 (2Ghz)-RAM: 3Ghz-Sound: Realtek High Definition Audio (Yes I have a HD soundboard, and my recording still sucks...)For Audacity I have it set up with the following settings:AUDIO I/O-Playback Device: Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio)-Recording Device: Samson C10U usb Condenser Microphone (Realtek High Definition Audio)-Channels: 1 (Mono); [I was told this would minimize the chances of missing audio]QUALITY:Sample Rate: 44100 Hz (CD Quality)Default Sample Rate: 16-bit [again was told this would minimize the chances of missing audio]Realtime Sample RC: High-quality sinc interpolationHigh-quality Sample RC: High-quality sinc interpolationRealtime dither: ShapedHigh-quality dither: TriangleFILE FORMATSWhen importing uncompressed audio files into Audacity:>Read directly directly from original file (faster)Uncompressed Export Format:>WAV (Microsoft 16-bit PCM)OGG Export Setup:OGG Quality > 10(I dont think you need to know if i turn it into a mp3 or not)SPECTROGRAMSFFT Size: 256 - DefaultGrayscale: "Unchecked"Maximum Frequency: 8000 HzThanks for being patient looking at this :). I know it is a lot, but please help if you can!

Page 8 of the Multimedia User Guide (Page 12 of the PDF file) only says that select models may have a stereo microphone input.http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00745224.pdfThat means they may have switched audio components during the production run. You will probably just have to test it.
If you absolutely must do it yourself, you can use a laptop or computer. Install Pro Tools ( http://www.homerecorder.com/product.php?pid=487 ) along with an audio interface. Then get the 2 mics, preferably a matched pair or stereo mics. If you’re on a budget you can get a pair of Behringer C-2s ( http://www.homerecorder.com/product.php?pid=194 ) or Apex185s ( http://www.homerecorder.com/product.php?pid=471 ) or if you have a more to spend, you can get the new Sontronics Apollo ( http://www.homerecorder.com/product.php?pid=383 ). Be sure to make sure that your laptop or computer meets the minimum system requirements of Pro Tools and the audio interface. This would be my recommendation for a do-it-yourself setup.
It’s a condenser mic; Condenser mic’s require a power source. So= check the battery in the microphone, or make sure that it is supplied by a source capable of providing “phantom power”
Hi. They work well but will still be in mono. Look for a noise canceling mike. Pretty inexpensive.
If you record each instrument separately. There are programs such as Sonar, Adobe audition, Cubase, protools etc. that give you plenty of plug-ins for EQ, Compression, etc.
you probably need either a 1/4 inch to 1/8 inch converter or a usb interface. on the jack there should be lines going around it. if there are two lines that means stereo, one line means mono. there are also XLR to 1/8 inch converters if that would work better. ive never had issues with converters messing with the gain, 1/4 to 1/8 is just a drop in size and compression of wires inside
Helloon this page you getthe solution for your problem!http://thestudiofiles.com/?page_id=520
yes on most phones if the ear phones are plugged in the phone, as soon as you decide to take the call, the sound comes through the earphones only and you speak through the mike IDK about driving
Please don’t confuse mono/stereo with balanced/unbalanced mic connections. And you did not tell us anything (need manufacturer and model number information) about the camcorder or the mic…The BEST, most effective, fool-proof way to use a balanced, XLR based mic with a consumer-grade, 1/8″ (3.5mm) unbalanced audio-in jack is to use an XLR adapter. I use the juicedLink CX231 or BeachTek DXA-6. They match the impedance requirements and also provide for manual audio gain control.There are XLR (mic) to 1/8″ TRS cable-tail adapters that can work but I do not recommend them because the little 1/8″ (3.5mm) plug into the camcorder gets stressed – and I’ve seen them break off in the camcorder… and then you have a whole different set of problems.Generally speaking, if you are able to get the cable-tail method to work, only one channel will record – right side, I think. You can use an audio manipulation tool like Audacity to clone the audio on that one channel and copy it over to the other channel. Some folks will off-set that audio by a single frame so it sounds “fuller” but not echo. You can do the same thing if your video editing application allows for multiple audio tracks (like Final Cut or Vegas).The other advantage to the XLR adapters is even if you plug a single mic into one channel, just flip the Mono/Stereo switch to mono and both channels will be recorded with the same audio.
That is not a problem with the mic, it is a problem with what you are recording on. Your computer? What program? Do you have enough memory? You might try shutting down all other applications while you are recording.
yeah, mono 1/4″ into the A/V. but it will only be the Mono 1/4″ into the red and white, because those represent the left and right channels of an audio device. i have on, they are like Radio-Shack status if you want to go buy one.
