choosing mics

[WOB]

Just get a dynamic (SM58 or sm57 or Audix 5) for rap.

You can use it on stage too....with out feedback;

and recording will be easyer ...You won't have to worry about background noise.

Go with the V67G dude. I have one and I think it's a nice warm mic

now tell me you do have a mixer/preamp multitrack right?

Becuase if you are just expecting to plug that into the back of your "stock" computer soundcard it aint guna work. you need xlr.

I know this sounds stupid but some people ignore these things.

Would a XLR to 1/4" cable work? Would I lose anything?

While I am at it, what is the difference between this and this?

One is mono the other is stereo. The stereo one is cheaper. Assuming the pre-amp takes both, is there a difference?

It sounds like you need alot more education on how things work. Go here for some basics & suggestions - http://www.tweakheadz.com/ Good luck.

You're going to need phantom power for that mic...not so sure you're going to wanna run that up a TRS 1/4" connector. I mean...I suppose you can it just seems like a bad idea.

Hey I believe that there are some preamp and mic packages going around for $300 - $400 if you wana save up a bit of $$$$$

That should get you started
