So untrue, one things with mics is you get what you pay for, be cheap get a cheap bad quality mic, pay the money and get quality.

I have a Rode NTK. Pretty smooth, crisp vocals. Also it is important to know that you need a good mixer. Im currently saving up for a M-Audio box so I can run pro tools.

i disagree.

lets post examples of our songs and then describe the type of mic u got, then decide.

i've heard cheap usb mics sound better than the expensive joints.

i say mixing is like 80-90 % of the output quality.

true, but mixing can't always save bad quality, no matter what you do to it. I hold true to things that people have told me in college that are broadcasting majors. dont fuck with cheap mics. same goes for a photographer i guess. you can by that cheap camera and maybe make it all work with Photoshop, but its still cheap and low quality. Megapixels matter, just like audio quality does. Not saying that you have to shell out $400 for a mic though btw. mine was only like $80 and no matter how shitty my verses or delivery are, people still comment and say i have great quality. all in the mic.

Yeah but with a better mic less mixing is needed and vocals are more crisp, also had to do with range for singers and people who cant keep a steady voice level. Theres a reason professionals use better mics its not just cause they cost more.
And usb mics will never give you professional quality, never.

This is true, its all about the kind of mic and what your using it for.

Re: Mic Recommendations

Thanks for the info , the rode n samson both seem pretty gd and for a reasonable price and Ive got a M-audio box and pro tools, I bought a mic awhile back for like 80 n the quality was awful worse than just using my mac's internal mic lol so i thought this time I'd get some recommendations

Re: Mic Recommendations

I guess Diezel. Imma choose to believe the guys who plan to make a living outta recording their voice and playing it on devices (radio, tv, podcast, etc). De, you can make up your own mind. just take the information we've all given you and make an educated guess on what's best. google it if you want.
