What microphone should I buy for all my vocals?
I have six vocals that I have to buy microphones for. I want to buy any of these four but I'm not sure which one would be the BEST choise. For those sound techs out Shure Beta there... which one would you guys recommed? The Shure Beta 87c, the Audix VX-10, the Audix VX-5, or the Audix OM-7? Thanks!Well... I have tried two of those, but it isn't quite for me you see. I am trying to see which one would fit for 6 random people (guys and girls) because they take turns singing in every event. So I want to know which of these would deliver more quality into the mix regardless of who is singing in it.

I would urge you to take a look at The Pod XT (made by Line 6) for effects…it’s $300…the XT Live is $400, worth the extra $100 as it is a floor unit – every effect known to man, and you can also download sounds that other people have created with it and posted online…check it out at your guitar store (assuming you haven’t already, it’s kind of the obvious choice). A pro session guitarist I met told me he hated the original Pod, thought it sounded tinny, but really likes the XT and thinks it is a huge improvement. I’m partial to the Marshall amp sound…but with the gadget above, you can make an Ibanez through a Fender amp sound like a Les Paul through a Marshall amp and vice-versa. I’ve used pretty much the same Fender amp for >15 years and it’s still humming along, so I guess that speaks well on the quality question – good luck and keep rockin -
Great- I wanna see you try for a monkeyman next.
Dude that’s like 30 questions. A “monitor” would be a speaker or set of speakers fed from a pa facing the band that would let you hear whats going on while you’re on stage. A 65 W speaker van handle 65 W but you will only get out some of what you put in. In other words if you use a 15W amp the most you will get is 15W. Be aware that the speaker impedance (4 ohms or 8 ohms) has to match the amp output to get max power. Also, some cheap and crappy speakers and amps are rated in peak watts and not RMS. The difference is more than 2 times (100 watts peak = 35 watts RMS). You could look at watts as how “loud” something will be. really watts is a measure of “power” the watts you see on amps and speakers is electrical power, actual sound pressure levels are measured in decibels per micro pascal (about 120 dB could make you lose hearing). Your equipment doesn’t sound all that good. A cheap way out is to get a decent $300 PA system with good mics ($100 ea.). Mic the guitars and the drum kit (all the drums). Basically if you play in a small room, unless your drummer uses electronic drums, the drums are gonna way overpower everything else and it’ll sound like a crappy garage band even if you can actually play. If you ever actually play out somewhere for money, hire someone to do sound (they’ll have their own PA and lights, etc.)
I think Reese’s would, and they’re adorable!
kinda hard to sing when you’re doing that…oops you said getting heard—–sorry
Yes i have that mic. There’s nothing wrong with the mic it’s the computer. Go to start* my computer* control panel* sound* speaker level and make sure nothing is checked or turned down* go to recordings and make sure there are no checks on mic levels* analog line mix* what you here*
The beta 58 is a conventional low impedance dynamic mic with an XLR outpot connector. It does not use phantom power or batteries.I’ve posted a link to the spec sheet below.A typical computer microphone connector uses a 3.5 mm jack with 3 connections: tip, ring, and sleeve. The middle one (ring) normally is used to supply power to electret type PC microphones. You do NOT want your microphone connected to power. Connect either pin 2 or 3 from the XLR connector to the tip connection of the 3.5 mm plug. Connect the both of the remaining two pins to the sleeve of the 3.5mm plug.The second link give more detail about computer microphone connections.Don
Hi Michael,I admire your courage in trying to install and play with a OS that’s still in Beta!I think that you should link yourself up to some designated Vista help forums though, where you’ll be interacting with many others sharing the same experiences and trials that you are.Please don’t misinterpret this as not wanting to see you posting questions here. It’s just that these problems are unique, and if I were the one experimenting with Vista, I’d want to be reading what porblems others were having and learning from them how to avoid or solve them.Although you may find someone here that can safely advise and guide you, you might want to read here as well:http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=423586&SiteID=1http://help.lockergnome.com/vista/Here’s a good reference page for you:http://search.microsoft.com/results.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US&q=Vista+help+and+supportI hope you enjoy the experience…(and help to get it stable for the rest of us!!)Have fun!!
so u can keep buying more of them hoping that one will work
