I think saying LDC's are used to record vocals 90-95% of the time in pro studios might be a bit of an exageration because a lot of really popular recordings were made using dynamics on vocals. The shure SM-7b is very popular for example.
bro im working on my studio i am working on my own studio i got my booth done and im getting the Presonus Audiobox and the MXL Genesis Tube Mic and im running off a pc with 4 gigs of ram and i record with cubase 4 if u want to check out my music and all that
I'm trying to find a mic suited for my voice which seems to be a prob. I do theatre and am a warm legit-ish high baritone (think Josh Groban) with gospel/rock style and my bottom is very warm and rich but my top end quality is a bit more Adam Lambert and my voice cuts like his up there if that makes sense. I can't seem to find a mic that suits that. Even the expensive ones sound so-so. Best luck so far is actually an old EV635a omni dynamic. Advice?
Mackie Onyx 1640i" . I don't know what it does to be honest, all the mics I've used before had been used by plugging them into usb, launching Audacity and voila, I'm ready to record . Would you say that there is a point in buying one of the microphones you reviewed in video to record vocals without any support devices? Will it sound terrible w/o this Mackie Onyx 1640i thingy which costs around 1600$. Other than that the mic is 200$ and 48v phantom power is around 70$. That ain't so expensive.
I'm using a Sennheiser MK4, recording through a Korg D3200 and I keep getting that annoying 'sss' sound, (I think it's called sibilance). I have a pop filter and I've been looking into getting a good de-esser for when I'm doing the final mix on my computer but I was wondering have you any tips on how to reduce this sound in the beginning, or eradicate it all together if possible, without needing another mic??
whats the good, small recording devise. like, i have a Mbox 2 Mini, I use ableton live, im wondering if you know how to set it up with ableton, and how to get some vocals down! a reply would be very much appreciated
@XxXDevilRejectsXxX to set up the mbox2 mini in ableton you need to navigate to the ableton preferences, select the Audio tab, select the 'audio input device' drop down menu and, provided the drivers are correctly installed for the mbox, you will see the mbox as an option. Then, in an audio track, from the session view, select an input from the mbox in the 'audio from' drop down menu just above your channel fader. Record enable the track and start recording!
@kosmicmi what are the correct drivers? it came with pro tools, but i want to use it in ableton haha, you know what would be great?! if you could post a link to correct drivers... thanks you so muchh!
I need a best microphone for my vocal recording can u please say that which is the best recording microphone for vocal please ......... please .............., replay
Excellent video mate. In fact all the Kosmic videos are excellent. I have wasted a fair bit of time on youtube listening to idiots who don't know what they are talking about but you guys know your stuff. Keep them coming. Cheers
Good information. I have a Behringer B2, a Rode NTk (with a mullard tube) and a Rode K2. The Rode mics certainly seem to give more 'information' to the vocal tracks I've recorded - they capture more of the natural sound and as explained in the video, they need less EQ. When compared directly, there's more body and tone to the Rode mics. Having said that, the Behringer is great for the price. If you search for Vulvagun on google, you can find my website and hear Behringer Vs Rode on my album

@rohitdas3 There is no 'best' microphone. It depends on your vocal qualities, your sound, style, but maybe more importantly, budget.
