    What is the absolute best mic (under $200)?

    Forget it, I'll go elsewhere where I can get replies that are mature.

    Analog transfer from VF80 to computer ..... noise problem. Help.

    I like to transfer my own original music that I record on my VF80 to my computer, and I do it via the headphone output on the VF80 to the mic input on my computer and record it with Audacity. I've been doing it this way for 10 years now, and I'm very happy with the results and sound quality...

    Short Cover of "Because Of You" by Kelly Clarkson (Can I sing?)

    Your voice is just fine. You handled the song very well. You emotionally connect with your voice (a VITAL skill, that the majority of amateur singers never, ever master). You sing FAR better than the vast majority of people. As with most things in life, it's just a matter of practice, practice...

    Sm57 problem

    It could be that some moisture has entered the mic. That happened to one of my SP B1 mics (very high humidity was the cause in my case...... but there's many ways that moisture of some type can affect a mic). In my case I just placed the mic in a dry, airy, low humidity place for a week. After...

    Stereo recording......mono playback.

    I have 2 Studio Pojects B1 condenser mics. I'm 100% happy with the recorded tone I get using them. I record my live singing/instrument accompaniment in stereo using both mics at once. What's the best mic positioning for me, that will provide good stereo sound yet at the same time still sound...

    Help please! My SP B1 mic has suddenly stopped working.

    I was just setting up a practice recording using one mic. The mic would't work....... I just got zero sound. I changed cables, then changed the input channel, then changed the track I was recording onto my recorder..... still no sound. I then tried my other mic, and it worked perfectly. I have...

    Help please! My SP B1 mic has suddenly stopped working.

    I've had 2 Studio Projects B1 microphones for about a year. They have both been treated very carefully and have had little use. They've never been dropped. I've stored them both in their plastic pouches they came with (I've kept the silica patches in the pouches as well; not sure if I'm...

    Fostex VF80:recording a CD, I need quick help please.

    I just went into town, purchased some CDs, got back home , followed the CD making instructions, and 2 hours later (I went *very* slowly in order to avoid mistakes) I had my first CD. The whole process is actually very easy...... whoever writes the complex VF80 manual must be a technician and not...

    Fostex VF80:recording a CD, I need quick help please.

    Thanks very much for that reply. I went to the Fostex site and found where it was all explained in detail. I doubt I'll have any trouble making the CD now. It's strange that the manual doesn't explain it all as a logical series of steps...... one really does have to "study" the manual in order...

    Fostex VF80:recording a CD, I need quick help please.

    I'm entering a songwriting competition, but I'm afraid I've left things a little late, and I have only 3 days to figure out how to transfer a great stereo VF80 recording I've made to CD, using the VF80 internal CD. I'm VERY technically challenged when it comes to this sort of stuff. I've made a...

    Reverb settings for VF80.....advice needed.

    When I listen to my recordings that I make on my VF80, before I add any effects, I like what I hear; the sound quality satisfies me. I record live to 2 tracks using 2 Studio projects B1 mics for a stereo recording. I sing and play acoustic lap slide guitar. I do no overdubbing. All I would like...

    Fostex VF80 - copy rough mix to PC???

    Wouldn't it be possible to simply run a stereo chord from the "phones" socket on the VF80 to a computer's mic input or line in? Then just record the VF80 stereo playback in stereo onto the computer using a free recorder like Audacity. Then when the recording is on the computer convert it to an...

    Anyone tried the Behringer MS16 monitors?

    I have those monitors. I use them with my Fostex VF80. They are tiny, sturdy and the sound is at least ok for the uses you intend.

    Expensive mic? Not necessarily necessary.
