Hi,
If I recall correctly there was a post on this forum about micing an amp with a computer mic. I remember the guy that wrote it posted a sound clip and it was awesome. Does anyone have the link to it?
Unless it was on another forum. :confused:
Thanks
 
It's not a PC mic, it's a Radio Shack unidirectional mic.

If you read the post, he comments that desktop computer mics will "distort like crazy".

You can't get good tone from a $2 desktop PC mic.

I liked the tone I was getting out of my $2 mic just fine. :D

No, but there is a BIG difference between one of these and a desktop mic.

The difference is that most of the Radio Shack mic's are made by Shure.

To each his own. As long as you like it that's all that should matter to you anyway, right? After all, you can't please everybody...

That sounds like a challenge! :D

I'm half-temped to offer a great band a free recording to allow me dick around recording them with a $2 mic all day... I'm more than a little currious what could be done.
 
ive recorded a whole son with just computer mics even drums... if ud like to listen go to this bands page www.myspace.com/tomorrowwasyesterday1 the song "make it emo and ki....." was recorded with just computer mics im the drummer for the band wat i did was get 5 computer micsand buy the splitters to be able to put all 5 mics in the one mic jack in the computer
 
Radio Shack sells a PZM microphone that was designed by CROWN.
This Mic sells for about $50 and sounds very good for some things.

Maybe this was the mysterious microphone used. :rolleyes:
