Re: Microphones (58 replies, posted in Recording)
I haven't even considered software yet. That, too, may come later. But for now, like I mentioned, I just want to find something fairly cheap (mics and mixer) and maybe move up to the next level. I don't mind spending a bit more for mics, but don't want to go too high on a mixer if I can help it. One step at a time. Just the one mic and the webcam was a big move for me, but now I am ready for the next step. Two better mics and a usb mixer sounds easy enough for now. I will check out the DAW software however. Who knows?

Re: Microphones (58 replies, posted in Recording)
Thanks for the info Jerome. Your thimble of knowledge over runneth my bucket. I am slow, so for now, all I want is two good mics and a decent usb mixer to capture a little smoother sound. I do like the MXL kit you mentioned. Most reviews seem to be positive. Although I did see a lot of them being sold used on Craigs List. Whats up with that, i wonder? Again, I really appreciate the info. I will fill my thimble slowly and maybe down the line check into recording separate tracks and later putting them together for a great sound. For now, these things are over my head. I am looking to record with two mics at the same time, with no delay

Re: just out of curiosity... (27 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I believe there may be a connection to musical and art. My inability to draw a crooked line might explain my difficulty in learning a new lead intro or chord progression.

I don't recall ever having a string break on me. Of course I am old and can't remember some things.

They are nice looking. I am sure the neck strength integrity would suffer after a while. And what about tuning? I guess I don't see the point.

Re: Microphones (58 replies, posted in Recording)
I'm really interested in the MXL 990/991 mics, Jerome. Have you tried them. Where do you position the 991 in regards to your guitar? And the mixer (it looks different from the one you had there before) does it hook up via USB to a PC and MAC? You got me going now. Looks like a great setup, at least for beginners like me.

Re: Microphones (58 replies, posted in Recording)
I don't think you can go wrong with that one, at least for starters. Like I said, as I find better ways and additional funding, I will go with a mixer and probably two mics. Let us know how it works out.

Interesting idea. I see mostly professional players using them. Not for us average folk so much

Re: Microphones (58 replies, posted in Recording)
I got it through Amazon. This isn't your old style USB mic that comes with computers. It is designed for vocals and instruments and I think it sounds pretty good. http://www.amazon.com/CAD-U1-Dynamic-Re … amp;sr=8-1
I am going with Jeromes remarks about getting a mixer and two better mics so I can place one in front of the guitar and one in front of my ugly mug to sing in. But in the mean time, this mic sounds wonderful.

Re: Microphones (58 replies, posted in Recording)
Dino, I bought the CAD U1 USB mic and I think it sounds good. Only $29.00. It works well with my Logitech webcam.

If you end up getting the Martin someday, that might make you a one guitar owner. I promise you, it will be all you need. You will love the sound. Well worth the expense IMO.

Pretty neat alright. That got me to checking in my wallet and I found that all my cards are thicker than I would like, but I am sure there is other materials out there that would do the trick. I might have to check that one out. Thanks Zguitar
