Hi Bobbsy, You’re definitely right, the singing is the most important part of the recording. I will definitely try to get the mic as close as possible. I was looking at the LyxPro TMS-1 Tripod Boom Floor Microphone Stand listed on Amazon. The height is adjustable up to 66” and the boom length...

Hi bouldersoundguy, Looks like I need to do more research on mics. I did’t realize there was such a thing as an unbalanced mic. Fortunately I haven’t ordered the Rode mic yet. I will do some more research and find a mic with an XLR output. Thanks so much for all of your advice, Stephanie

Hi Steenamaroo, Thanks for the caution about recording directly into the computer. I will look into the Tascam DR** combo recorder/mics, it sounds like a good option. Maybe a trip to a local store is in order. There are so many configurations to consider. Thanks again for your input, Stephanie

Thank you bouldersoundguy for your suggestion. I was hoping to just buy a mic to improve the sound quality. From what you are saying I would need the Zoom H5 video recorder, a mic and the Magix Vegas application to merge the sound and the video together. There seems to be a lot for me to...
