QUOTE(headhunter7 @ Mar 3 2008, 01:32 AM)  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. As pointed out by someone else, mic placement is another important role to play. Try to adjust the mic in different direction pointing to the sound source (ala your guitar/drum), record, and listen back see how it sounds. Then record the drum with lower volume, and definitely get another mic to record. Lastly without a bass to play with the drum the whole thing sounds hollow.  |

Sequencer is for you to store your MIDI data like audio track, it was appear as hardware (say, Roland MC-50)but nowadays you just need software to overcome many hardware limitations.
And Cubase/Nuendo/Ableton/Logic/Pro Tools/Digital Performer/etc are all DAW (digital audio workstation), they can record audio as well as MIDI data like the old hardware MIDI sequencer do.

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).
Dynamic mic can handle high volume recording, but the fidelity and sensitivity is not as good as condenser mics, as it uses magnetic charge. Condenser mics are very sensitive, as it uses electric charge instead, but dare not to point it at snare drum very close or else it'll explode...
Dynamic mics are usually cheaper than condenser mics, and your karaoke/computer mic are all dynamic mics. Condenser mics are more widely used on profesional recordings.

QUOTE(echobrainproject @ Mar 13 2008, 01:20 AM) thanks bassix. pigcat, dont mean to put you down or anything, but you got your facts slightly wrong. 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.

QUOTE(echobrainproject @ Mar 13 2008, 05:43 PM) well i never intended it to mean that way. it isnt my fault you read and interpreted it wrongly. so please do not be so defensive by the way, theres a grammatical mistake in your signature. do correct it before it gives people the wrong impression (especially when you're saying there are alot of retards around, when you could not even get it right yourself). to be kind, i'll edit this post and remove the 2nd paragraph once u've fixed your signature. QUOTE(kernel @ Mar 13 2008, 08:17 PM) You left out condenser mics. Dynamic AND condenser mics need a microphone preamp to convert it into a useable line-level signal. ROFL, XLR pins don't provide phantom power. It's the phantom power supply in your mic preamp/external phantom power unit that provides the 48v. Connecting your condenser microphone to a XLR cable doesn't mean the 48v will be provided magically. And, TRS connectors can also carry phantom power, not just XLR connectors. The correct term for "power to amplify it" is GAIN. You're just creating confusion by interchanging GAIN and POWER. Reading your statements is like...you judge for yourself. OK...Guess I have bad english and I shall re-study it...Sorry for all my confusing posts...  |
