I am putting together some musical tracks for the first time, so I didn't want to go out to buy any high end stuff. I just wanted something that would work well to get my feet in the water. Boy, this little puppy has really impressed me. First, let's get the negative stuff out of the way.
First of all, I've been using this microphone with Audacity freeware.
The hardest part about learning to use this microphone was figuring out how to put the stand together. It turns out, the joint piece that attaches the microphone to the stand has a little piece in it that needs to be removed before the pole that attaches the mic to the base can be attached. There are no instructions on how to assemble the stand, so I had to search google to find an answer.
The second hardest part was trying to figure out how to get my voice recordings to come through on both the right and left channels. You can split the stereo recording where the voice is only coming through on one channel into a mono recording and then delete the empty recording that results.
Once these two little problems were solved, the rest was very easy and self explanatory. There is a 3.5 mm input and a 3.5 mm output on the base as well as the USB output to hook to a computer. It comes with a lot of cords, most of which I won't ever use. One cord I am using, though, is one that converts a guitar cable into a 3.5 mm input. When I plug my acoustic guitar into the base, it sounds far better than when I plug the guitar directly into my computer. It's extremely crisp and clear.
The number one reason I got this microphone was so that I could record vocal tracks onto music I was recording without having to deal with any delay. I got so much more than I bargained for. And it's so easy to use. I'm going to get a lot of use out of this puppy. I can't wait to lay down my next track.
