Postby TripleNineThree » Mar 8th, '09, 17:16

Currently I have a simple USB Mic which is a Samson G-Track - http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/GTrackUSB/
This one has some pretty decent quality but theres some points that just arn't good enough haha if you konw what I mean

I want to upgrade my quality to a http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/AT2050/
This one looks GREAT, and I was reading reviews and some dude said it matches mics 5 times its price in quality

If any of you guys got any experience with this mic or know anything about it lemme know!!

Get yourself a $100-150 condenser so you can buy a stand, pop filter, phantom, and cables for the phantom.

You need 2 XLR cables for the phantom, one goes from phantom to the mic, and the other goes from phantom to computer. Phantom is the power supply of the microphone, without it you can't use a condenser microphone. Stand & Pop Filter <<you should know those by now.

Great Gorgeous Gorges

[font=Calibri][/font]
[font=Calibri]Well we have been enjoying our China Vacationsfor 9 days now and wanted to really get to know the Chinese culture better, So we booked ourselves onto a cruise up the Yangtze River(well a basic boat tour to be more accurate) with a China TourGroup! Being the only westerner's on board we received a lot of attention in the way of long stares. A few "Ni Hao's" (Hello's) slowly began to bring the group round to the idea that we were in fact friendly people! After a while they began to respond with "Hello" accompanied with a big smile. We had succeeded in our quest to win some of our travel companions over. We set sail from Wanzhou Pier and continued down river. Our first stop was at the Zhangfei Temple which was bizarrley lit up with red neon strip lights. The next day, the internal bells on the boat rang at an unearthly hour of 6am to get all the passengers up to view the Qutang Gorge, the first, shortest and the grandest of the Three Gorges. We decided to just open the room curtains and stay in bed for this. At 8am, we arrived in Wushan city and were rounded up to take a small boat to visit the Little / Lesser Three Gorges. The scenery was beautiful and the trip was made even more enjoyable. By the end of the travel in China, we felt like celebrities! We lost count of the number of photo's that had been taken of us, but that made China Travelan even more fun journey.[/font]
