    I'm Finally Getting a New Microphone (Update)

    I've been rapping for five years, but the majority of the songs I created were used with low-quality, computer microphones. Consequently, the quality of the music suffered, there was constant background noise, and static was inevitable. People had been telling me to purchase a professional microphone since at least late-2005, but I kept procrastinating. Money was the main issue, of course. I was informed that to get the greatest quality of music, I would have to spend upwards of 500 dollars for equipment, and I could not relinquish that.

    I finally decided to get one though: http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com...one?sku=271009

    I purchased it not only because I needed higher quality recordings, but the mic I had used to recorded a good 80 percent of the songs on my music page finally broke. As Obright told me last night, this is indeed a sign. I need to step my game up and produce more professional recordings. Hell, this may even give me a chance to re-record the Pavilion songs I made earlier this year. I can't wait for it to get here.

      I've always wanted to hear a remix of the Andie Griffith Show theme with some kinda rapping in it. You know what I'm saying?

        Way to go! Not that I understand any of the specs, but I have a feeling it's going to fix almost all of the recording-noise problems that the "professional" $500 mics would. Computer ones tend to be crappy and if you're going to record your voice for others to hear, it's a great idea to upgrade to a real mic.

                  Hey Bonanza, I'll keep my eyes peeled for affordable quality microphones.


                  There's an auction for that specific mic model on ebay right now (though it's missing the software cd, usb cord and stand):
