[musictlk] Low budget music recording and a few questions

[Jeffrey Young]

Based on quality of recordings I've done the mike on the Zoom H1 is far superior to the built in mike on the mac. What mikes do you guys recommend ? Preferibly under $100. 

THanks
Jeff

>> Hello,
>> I know nothing about the zoom and very little about the Mack. I'm not sure what your budget is, but if you get a quality mick you will need a sound card to plug it into.
>> I'm guessing the zoom will be equal to the built in mic on the Mack. If you wanted to look around, there are mics for about $80-120 at Fry's, I'm not a pro on the brands, I have one but have no idea what brand it is. I like the recording my mic does a lot.
>> It connects through a USB to the computer and it has a built in soundcard and preamp.
>> I can ask a sighted person when I see one next what brand it is if you'd like.

>>> Of course if you want a really good sounding recording you will need the big guns, (Pro Tools, Mic, preamp, sound card...) but you have enough to make a demo in the Mack now.
