SM57 vs MXL V67g ?
( the MXL V67g sound a bit better for me )
also do i need any audio device ?
if yes wat the cheapest one with decnet quilaty (100 ~ range ? , 100 for mic and 100 for the other stuff , 200 in total )
 
The V67gwill need phantom power, but for the audio devices that your referring to? do you mean an AD/DA converter with mic preamp? For I'm assuming you would ask this if you only have a computer as you sit now, correct?







:cool:

The quality of the recording as far as the computer is concerned is made by an audio interface, other names you will hear are sound card, ADDA convertors etc. If your computer can play back audio i.e. wav files, MP3 files it has a sound card. However most stock computer cards are not good enough to record with. SO, you can get an external interface which hooks up via a USB or Firewire cable. If you get a PCI or PCI-e card you will have to open the computer and install it, and it will not have a preamp.(that would be extra) M-Audio is a good place to start, they have a variety of interfaces starting around 100bucks.

Welcome!

thanks ,
emmm can you give me a file with standrt pci card vs audio-m interface ? i want to see the quilaty , how big of a diffrense is it ?
can i connect the mike in the pc with stander pci cheap card ?
if yes i think i will start with normal mic via pc and in afew months after upgrade if its not realy that important .
what do you think ?
 
Well you could plug an Sm57/58 directly into your pc. most PC's have an 1/8" mic input. So I think you could get an adapter to do that. However, I think the MXL is a better mic for recording, but you need phantom power for that mic, so on a budget the best thing is to get an external Audio interface that includes, phantom power, an XLR mic input and pre-amp. (most will also come with starter software) so your getting alot for your money. If you go PCI you will still need all that stuff, separetly. So I'd really suggest a USB external interface with the MXL. This will get you an entire entry set-up.

Good luck!
