http://www.my-mic.com/main.htm <--- you might want to look at this. i dont know anything about mic tho, that is from my read at the star online.

btw, im stuck between line6 ux1 and m-audio fastrack usb. which 1 is better? salesguy in a shop told me that ux1 have problems and many people are trying to sell it or is it just because he wanted me to buy the m-audio? and jaya from ck told me that ux1 is amazing. now i really am stuck~ any help?

Hey guys, Im using Audacity to record. Haha my recording set up is very bare, so please hold your laughs XD.

I just wanna know, how do I make my recording sound "fuller", cuz right now its kinda..hollow. @_@!

There you go XD.

A part of my band's song.
Is it because of the mic?

Or the absence of a bass guitar? (Its recorded without one.)

sorry bout that then. Here's a longer clip.

edit: wait!..no wonder you said it was too short..somehow the uploading got stucked or something. I did uploaded a longer clip. gimme a minute.

2nd edit : http://download.yousendit.com/35A43DCC087BFFF3 here you go..

Im recording using a mic, for the drums i put it infront of the drums.
Will get another one, or 2.

mic > converter > soundcard.
using audacity.

no2. i think u got me wrong. its like this, there are two tracks in my recording. 1 is using an acoustic guitar, and another is vocal. i did pick wav format with the highest quality. lol. but the end result, both recording came in separate file. it does not merge as 1 track. any solution for that?

hmmm i dont remember selecting any mono for mixdown. and, it came out in separate tracks in stereo.

anyway, how do i select separate mono?

Well, Shure isn't exactly cheap....... But agree that the SM57 are the industry standard.

Dynamic need "Mic input" power to power up the mic or else no sound. Typically found on many soundcards.

Condenser need even more power to get it work, it's called the "phantom power" or so-called 48v power. And it need the XLR pin to provide the power (the 3 pin mic connector).

Yes technically it doesn't need any power, but indirectly, still need power to amplify it right?

And I did mentioned the "mic input", you're not gonna get any usable signal thru line input right? Reading your statements in the previous post is like "ok dynamic mic don't need any power so you can plug it in anywhere". Anyway thanks bassix for clearing that up.

what's a TRS connector?

I just bought a Zoom G1 pedal for rm 220. Was gonna choose a behringer GDI21 which has a DI built-in at rm 156-180 but decided against it since zoom g1 has more features including a tuner and effects editing unit.

I was quite floored by this unit. Very impressed for that little rm 220 I paid for. I notice it could function as a preamp and DI unit for recording as well. Will it perform well as a DI box ? It wasn't advertised as such but I suppose all battery operated devices like this that connects to the electric with headphones/line out should have DI built-in.

This unit sounds better than a microcube (through headphones) and it's cheaper too. If I had to turn back time I would not have bought the microcube at all, just this unit and a cheap huge set of speakers with good wattage.

Will it perform well as a DI box ?

Well first off, the distortion models sounds great especially ED model, better than what the microcube offers,  and don't forget that the high sampling rate of the zoom g1 too.

Effects, unmatched. Microcube only has a fixed few sets of effects compared to the zoom g1.

Price wise, zoom g1 is way cheaper. rm 220 after discount for me, and my microcube costs me rm 430.

I paid rm 210 for the marshall MS-4 micro amp stack, that's a piece of junk compared to what zoom G1 offers me.

Zoom G1 has a noise gate built in as well, and also a compressor. It also has a harmonizer, which the microcube doesn't have. If you play around with the settings enough you can easily make it sound better than the microcube which is too plain and not much settings to play with.

If one wants to be a beginning electric guitarist without spending so much money on amp, effects, and the likes, all you need is the Zoom G1 and an electric guitar.

No need tuners even, zoom g1 has it all.

If you don't want to listen through headphones/earphones (it's quite good, better than what microcube's headphones out offers) you can always connect it to a pair of cheap high wattage speakers, and if you're a computer owner you should already have one, or you could get some cheap cables and plug it into your TV/stereo system.

I plugged my rgr321ex through the zoom g1 and I love the humbucker's output, very nice distortion and sustain.

Zoom G1's output is in STEREO.  It's much better than the microcube's fully mono output.

Zoom also lets you modify the EQ, got low/mid/high settings.

24 bit 96khz sampling, beat that Microcube.

echobrainproject: im quite sure its in mono, tried some setting in vst input or something. failed. whats the reason of this? if i know, might find some way to figure out how to fix it. thanx
