[Requiem]

150??? *drops jaw*

lmao, i got a logitech premium for like 25, and the quality's pretty good. gotta watch out for mic bumps, but whatever. lmao, u could probably find a better one.
just go to radioshack and ask em which is a great mic. employees usually know.

ur quality is awful idk what ur talking about.

chet, i say it's better that you focus on the actual rapping than the mic quality right now... u can have perfect quality, wont make anyone wanna listen to you anymore...

ok... well in that case... if ur looking for studio quality... it isn't just about the mic, u need a pop filter, I'm pretty sure u need a mixer (so you don't directly plugin ur mic to computer) probably need a better computer and i think i'm missing a few more things...

aka, just stick to ur shit, till ur a pro before u get pro.

no I'm not looking for studio quality

I'm looking for quality better then my 10 dollar mic

I ask for help, and this is what happens lol

then get a 20 dollar mic, i dunno... u have to be more specific, you can't be like I need better quality or i need a good mic... well that is dependent on your definition of good or better.

If you want something that sounds pretty good, it's listenable and picks up most of everything? then i suggest talking to maybe and sajjad cause their mics work great.

[Tash8]

right but you probably wouldn't want to spend 150 on the mic, you need other things... like a 25 dollar mic and 10 dollar filter, and 100 dollar mixer, might sound a lot better than just the 150 dollar mic..

but i'm not good with the specifics, so hopefully maybe can explain to you in detail, how you should split up the price.

A studio mic is called a Condenser, those start off at around $90 - $2000+. You will also need to buy a stand, pop filter, pre-amp, phantom (if the pre-amp doesn't have phantom in it). So you will need much more than $150 if you want to buy a condenser.

A dynamic mic is best for stage, but when a artist wants to make music and doesn't have much money they always go for dynamic, like me I went for a $10 dynamic mic lol which left me busting my ass on the mixing. But there's no doubt in mind that Shure brand mics are the best dynamics.

The Shure SM58 is a legendary vocal dynamic microphone, it has awesome quality, even close to some condenser mics. On ebay I just checked and it was for (AU $99.00) NEW IN BOX!, so dude in America that's much cheaper 100%. Definitely get this microphone, than while your recording with it save up for a pop filter and stand.

Bolded that area because YOU must get that mic man, that shit is the legend of dynamic mics. Best of luck.

thanks alot man, I'm gonna get it

For real man, if it isn't good than return it as soon as possible and curse at me non stop.

well it's not like I'm gonna stop rapping until I get a new mic I'm still recording verses everynight, trying to get a good flow

I'm still focusing on improving my rapping everyday, but when I do finally get good, I wanna have a good mic

i never used the mic i have. cuz it didnt work on my particular computer so thats why im selling it.plus i dont need a mic anymore. its cool to record in your room but i like studios better

i use a Samson usb condenser mic, basically got this a few years ago for a lot more money than and mine didn't come with software and came with different cable:
