Excerpts from Ken Restivo's message of 2010-03-19 01:24:03 +0100: > So I am recording the band's vocals tomorrow for this record, and, due to acute poverty and our practice-room-mates absconding with all the mics, the only mics we have available to us now are: > > 1) Shure PG-58 (with on-off switch! woo-hoo!) > and > 2) Zoom H2 > > Which of these not-very-good choices would you recoomend would be slightly less crappy for recording vocals? I have no experience with either, but .. > The Zoom has condenser mics, which to my ears are quite good, but are designed for ambient recordings and might not handle sound pressure levels of close-range vocal use. I doubt that vocal sound pressure really is an issue, just make sure you don't get 'wind' noises. > Also, it has that 188ms delay in it too, and no way to turn off hardware monitoring. I think I read that it can be used as usb interface directly, maybe it behaves better then? > How bad is the PG-58 though? > > -ken I'd assume that the PG-58 isn't so different from other Shure vocal mics, pure guess. Maybe it's better than the Zoom for really close range. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
