Recording Studio Microphone

Recording studio microphone selection is an essential activity when creating a home recording studio. The expense of creating a studio can easily escalate so it is important to gain a good knowledge of the different types of equipment so that you do not waste your budget. One of the most important pieces of equipment that you can invest in is a recording studio microphone. If it has poor characteristics then you are sure to lose a lot of quality on the recording of vocals and instruments. Here are some useful guidelines to remember when you are shopping for microphones.

The first thing to remember is they will pick up sound wherever you put them. Some are less durable than others but most lower-end microphones are created equal. If you are looking into a higher end model then you can expect some extra features and sound quality. These higher end microphones might be more of an expense to start out with but if you intend to use them a lot then they will be well worth the money. Value is about more than just price. It is better to spend a little bit more money if it ensures more quality and dependability.

There are two main types of recording studio microphone - dynamic microphones and condenser microphones.

Dynamic microphones are physically much stronger than condenser microphones and can even withstand being dropped. They are normally used for both live and recording work. Dynamic microphones can often be seen recording loud amplified instruments such as guitars. This type of microphone does not need its own power supply. Dynamic microphones are very versatile and can be used to record both vocals and instruments. With each recording studio microphone you use to record vocals, it is a wise decision to invest in a pop filter - to filter out a vocalists hissing or popping sounds.

Condenser microphones are much more fragile than dynamic microphones and do need a power supply. This could be provided either by an internal battery or an external power source. They are more expensive than dynamic microphones and are normally seen within a recording studio environment rather than out at gigs. Condenser microphones are typically used to record soft acoustic sounds and vocals. When you need to record drums you are likely to need at least one recording studio microphone of each type. Using four microphones for drums is not unusual - a dynamic microphone for the kick and snare drum and two condenser microphones judiciously placed overhead.

Make sure to do your research to find the right microphone for your budget. However, remember that the quality of your recordings is to a large extent dependent on the quality of each recording studio microphone.

How would I connect my studio Condenser Microphone to My Computer?

I am no pro what so ever. But I can see that the Condenser Microphone has a plug that would not fit in my computer. What cord would I use to connect it to my computer. perhaps threw USB?

Well the mic will have a cable that is either XLR (ground, left, right-has 3 prongs) or 1/4" (The cable you use to connect a guitar to an amp, which I assume you're familiar with as a musician).

Your computer has an 1/8" input. What you need is an adapter/converter, either 1/4"-1/8" or XLR-1/8", depending on your cable.

Here are examples of each:

PS I know you were thinking about using USB, but that'll give you unsatisfactory sound. You'd be wasting your money buying a nice condenser mic and then hooking it up via USB.
