Re: good microphone

2013-06-10 Thread Robert Nelson



Your question is a bit like asking how long is a piece of string?

For a good headset try the Audio Technica ATH-COM2

For a stand alone microphone try the Audio Technica AT8022

If you are looking for a good USB microphone try the Rode Podcaster.

You can find these with a search on amazon.com

If you would like more help, tell us whether you want:
to plug it in to a 3.5 mm socket
or a 6 mm socket (large phone jack) or
a USB port on your computer or
an XLR socket on a mixer

You might also consider buying a Behringer UB502 mixer for less than $50 to 
give you some flexibility with connections.  It is small and has a foot 
print about the same as an Iphone laid flat.  If you search on amazon.com, 
you will see more details.

Hello Joe, I use a Yeti USB microphone and it works very well.  Another
microphone I would recommend are the Roland CS10EM microphones, which can
plug into your computer's microphone jack.  These microphones are in-ear
microphones, but can also double as earphones, and cost £80, which is around
$120.  Hope this helps.

Good microphone for the victor stream.

2008-08-15 Thread Anders Holmberg
Hello!
The internal mike on the stream is a really great one.
However sometimes you may whish to record with an external microphone.
For example if you want to record an interview or a soundeffect (even if its
not the best quelity on the sound format).
I do want a small microphone.
It may cost what it costs but it must be small with a good frequency range.
Thanks for any help in advance.
A/nders.

Serprised things didn't work with the original sound card as these days the 
sound card is activated.  However, you might have someone check settings in 
the control panel.  If that fails you might want to have it serviced under

 I purchased a new PC a few months ago and, despite playing with the
  settings in the Windows volume control, trying two sound cards and
  multiple microphones, I cannot seem to get good enough volume without
  a lot of hiss. I know I tend to be quite soft-spoken, but I didn't
  have this problem on the old PC. I first tried the Realtek card that
  came with my PC. It was fairly acceptible for playback, but I had the
  low mic volume problem. I then bought a Creative 24-bit USB External
  card (I went with that card because I figured it would be easy to
  install since it was USB), installed it and updated the drivers, but
  again, with trying multiple different brands of microphones, the mic
  level was very low unless I cranked the Windows volume control way
  up, in which case I had unacceptible hiss. It is interesting to me
  that, despite having Advanced Controls checked, I cannot find a mic
  boost option in my SB Live, but it does have a microphone volume
  control wheel on the card itself, which only worsens the hiss if I
  crank it up. I am using Sound Forge 8 on a Shuttle PC with 1 GB of
  RAM, Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2, 3.00 gigahertz Intel
  Pentium 4, and Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit External with the latest
  drivers as of three days ago.  Aside from screaming into the
  microphones, is there anything else I can do to kick up the volume,
  preferably without having to break the bank? The research I've done
  shows that the Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit External is not a good card
  for recording, but I would prefer to stick with a USB sound card
  because I don't know how to install an internal card. However, I will
  go with an internal card and pay someone to install it if that is
  necessary. I tried a Logitech USB microphone which does work quite
  nicely, but I cannot get Jaws to come through my recordings, and for
  some crazy reason, my PC reboots spontaneously after having it
  connected for more than 15 minutes, even if I'm not using it. With

Re: Cannot get good microphone volume

2006-07-16 Thread Lynn Schneider
I have checked every single setting I can think, and a few other 
places recommended to me by folks on this list, including the system 
tray volume control, but the mic boost remains elusive. I am very 
familiar with the location of the mic boost setting, as I had it on a 
former PC and changed it myself. I don't think there is actually a 
defect in the sound card. From the research I've done, many of these 
low-cost, consumer-grade sound cards are more designed for listening 
than recording, so the microphone jack is just basically put there as 
an afterthought.  Mic volume seems to be a recurrent problem for many 
people using these cards.  For example, the SB Live card I have is 
more designed for home theater, so the surround sound is its claim to 
fame, not its recording capability. .  In the amazon.com reviews, 
three people said that mic volume was a problem, and one said they 
wrote to Creative and was told that the Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit 
External is really not designed for recording. I just thought all 
Creative cards were good, but I know now that I should have gotten an 
Audigy instead of the Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit External. I suppose 
I'll try the battery-operated mic, and if that doesn't work, I'll 
have to get an Audigy.

believe it or not, there are two microphone settings.

the one you want is in
your volume on the system tray under open volume control.

there's settings to show what will show up and there's a microphone control 
in there and the advanced button next to that will let you activate the 20 
db boost.

 I've sort of been helping Lynn solve this issue and i mentioned the

 I've got a SB Live!Audigy 2, and the 20 db boost checkbox is there,
 but only after you press the advanced buttton in playback controls
 for the microphone.

Subject: Cannot get good microphone volume


 I purchased a new PC a few months ago and, despite playing with the
  settings in the Windows volume control, trying two sound cards and
  multiple microphones, I cannot seem to get good enough volume without
  a lot of hiss. I know I tend to be quite soft-spoken, but I didn't
  have this problem on the old PC. I first tried the Realtek card that
  came with my PC. It was fairly acceptible for playback, but I had the
  low mic volume problem. I then bought a Creative 24-bit USB External
  card (I went with that card because I figured it would be easy to
  install since it was USB), installed it and updated the drivers, but
  again, with trying multiple different brands of microphones, the mic
  level was very low unless I cranked the Windows volume control way
  up, in which case I had unacceptible hiss. It is interesting to me
  that, despite having Advanced Controls checked, I cannot find a mic
  boost option in my SB Live, but it does have a microphone volume
  control wheel on the card itself, which only worsens the hiss if I
  crank it up. I am using Sound Forge 8 on a Shuttle PC with 1 GB of
  RAM, Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2, 3.00 gigahertz Intel
  Pentium 4, and Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit External with the latest
  drivers as of three days ago.  Aside from screaming into the
  microphones, is there anything else I can do to kick up the volume,
  preferably without having to break the bank? The research I've done
  shows that the Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit External is not a good card
  for recording, but I would prefer to stick with a USB sound card
  because I don't know how to install an internal card. However, I will
  go with an internal card and pay someone to install it if that is
  necessary. I tried a Logitech USB microphone which does work quite
  nicely, but I cannot get Jaws to come through my recordings, and for
  some crazy reason, my PC reboots spontaneously after having it
  connected for more than 15 minutes, even if I'm not using it. With
  all the microphones I have tried, I could probably create my own
  electronics store on Ebay.  Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Re: Cannot get good microphone volume

Ok, so my big question is, and I'm sure Lynn's asking the same thing, 
where on earth is the 20 DB boost if you're using the card she's 
using? She can't locate it, and i did some research trying to tell 
where to look and I'm coming up with nothing.
So we're both lost on this one.

Re: Cannot get good microphone volume

2006-07-15 Thread Richard Claypool
there are two advanced buttons.

The one is for moniterng sound and that's in the volume properties.  the 
other is in the playback or, if you goto the volume icon in yoru system it's 
under open volume controls, the first item in your context menu.  that's 
where the twenty db boos resides.  the same place as yours man.

RE: Cannot get good microphone volume

2006-07-15 Thread Kevin Minor
Hi.

I have this problem on my laptop.  I solved it by buying a microphone that
you put batteries in.  It does quite well with volume level.  I do get CPU
noise, but I think that's due to the sound card I'm using.  I got it from
Radio Shack.  It cost me somewhere around $25.  Battery life is decent in
it.  It uses 2 AAA batteries.  It's a boom mike, and the batteries go in the
bottom of the base that's on the microphone.

HTH

Re: looking for a good Microphone for computer voice chat.

2005-05-02 Thread Jerry Richer
 Sun Sparkle!  In my opinion most any cheap computer microphone will do
fine for voice chat.  Now I'm ducking the flames.  However, if you want to
make hi fidelity audio recordings of any sort then you should consider
getting some sort of microphone preamp and a higher quality microphone.  Do
you have a budget in mind?  Would you want to make stereo recordings?  You
could do very well for $200 or so.

any good music store, ebay, musicianfriends.com samedaymusic.com  Z zound,
music123.com Samash.com,  etc. Many places.
You don't need an expensive mic for what you want to do. And make sure you
get fantom power for the mic, or ask for one that does not require fantom
power. Or, ask for a good dynamic mic. Most Condensers run on Fantom 
power.
but I also believe that a good dynamic mic will do the job as well. but
condenser is neeter.
