[musictlk] Low budget music recording and a few questions

Sat Apr 6 15:07:02 UTC 2013

I have had a recommendation for the logetech 600 wireless headset with a
built-in microphone.  You can buy it at Wal-mart and it is under 100
dollars.  I talk to a friend on skype who has one, and to me, it sounds
wonderful.

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

>> 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.

garage band. You can also expand into Pro Tools when you get the money.

big guns, (Pro Tools, Mic, preamp, sound card...) but you have enough to
make a demo in the Mack now.
