Hi all
2 years ago I bought an USB mic Samson C01U and I was quite happy when I got it. I learned things about mixing etc over the past couple of years. I changed from FL Studio to Cubase, back to FL Studio and now I'm trying in Adobe Audition. However, I was never satisfied with the result which kinda put my self-confidence lower than ever. I doubted my singing skills, which was an issue as I have had vocal lessons for years. I never dared to send my recordings to friends, who are dying to hear me sing, as I wasn't happy with how it sounded.
ANYWAY, enough of the sob story I continued recording and kept on learning about EQ'ing etc,... I have a feeling I kinda have a good basic knowledge, so this Summer I started recording again after months of doing nothing and I noticed my Samson C01U had this loud noise. Louder than I remembered (Example at the bottom). It's that loud that whenever I "noise filter" it, it will effect my vocals when I try to get rid of it completely.
I was wondering if I should buy a new mic (non-usb) or will an audio interface USB solve this noise problem?
I had a look at this forum today and read many topics and the MXL V67G caught my eye. Although, I don't know what else I need to connect it to my laptop as I've only been using an USB mic so any suggestions?
There were also mic's suggested such as SM57 en 58 but I'm not sure if that is good enough for what I want to do. Basically all I want to do is record vocals with a piano track.
So what should I do in your opinion? Also, if you suggest pre amps, AI USB or other mics, please keep in mind that my budget isn't big.
I hope you understand my problem
