Oh my god, my weird sound effects history is actually useful here. I have a Zoom H2 rigged up to small boom pole using a shock absorber with a good number of washers to steady a bolt onto it that will fit onto the bottom of the mic and keep it steady without too much noise when moving it.

I've totally recorded a few animals (yes, including my own cat) this way with success.

EDIT: Pictures of the setup sans boom-pole.. Boom pole in question is from this.

I'm going to assume you're talking about electric guitar, and you want to record on to your computer.

We'll go with the simplest/cheapest way (Note, you won't want to run an electric guitar directly into a computer, it'll generally sound like crap)

First off, you'll need a microphone. The Shure SM57 is an industry standard for recording many things, from guitar cabs to snare drums, and more. It's only $100, too! There's a knockoff of that mic, for half the price, that's supposed to be just as good (some people even prefer the sound), the GLS-57. Both of these mics are "dynamic" mics, and either of these mics will work.

You'll need to get a mic stand to place the mic in the proper position on the amp, which is a separate lesson in and of itself.

Next, you need a way to get the mic signal into your computer. The quickest, cheapest, but least featured way to do so would be something like the Blue Icicle. You would plug it into your computer, plug an XLR cable into it, and plug the mic into that cable.

For software, the most basic, and free software is Audacity. It really is pretty basic, but you can plug your stuff in, hit record, and it'll record. If you want something more powerful, check out Reaper. It's really good, and pretty cheap (and has a more or less unlimited trial period if you're that kind of person). It is somewhat complex though, and it'll take a decent amount of time to get comfortable with. If you have a Mac, Garage Band is just peachy.

inally, the last important part is hearing what you're recording. At the low-end, you're probably better off with headphones. I recommend either the Sennheiser HD280s or the less expensive Sony MDR-V6s (mostly identical to their professional MDR-7506s). If you want to get some actual monitors, check out the Behringer MS16s.

Unsurprisingly, you can spend a hell of a lot more money on any of these things. Feel free to ask any questions!

Bonus advice! If you want to record an acoustic guitar, instead of the SM57, you'd want to get a small diaphragm condenser (SDC) mic, like the MXL 603S.

Justification for each:


RE320: It's a hell of a mic. Consider the Rode Procaster instead if you want to save a bit of money.


UR22MKII: Solid interface. Nothing more to say, really, except that it has a full 60dB of available gain, unlike some cheaper interfaces.


WS-PL2: It's a windscreen. Since my intention here would be close-talking into the mic (i.e., lips practically pressed against it), the windscreen is the better choice. It's expensive, but it's a thick-ass microphone.


MS7701B: Since the mic doesn't come with a shock mount, a floor stand is probably going to be preferable so keyboard/mouse noises or desk bumps aren't picked up as much.

XLR cable: It's an XLR cable. You'll need that.

USB A-to-B cable: It's a USB cable. I'm not 100% certain whether the interface comes with one, but... just in case. Obviously, if you intend to buy them, find out for sure whether it does or not, first.

Total as of right now: $487.09

Respectfully, it's a complete waste of time and money. You're better off using your B speaker setup like I use mine as a way to run a different type of speaker for different content not in an AB configuration. That can create its own issues.

Bi wiring / bi amping

McGurk effect video

Better things to do than bi- wiring and bi-amping speakers to improve your audio experience:

  1. Experiment with your speaker placements i.e. distance from boundaries, angle of speaker, distance from speaker and height of the tweeter lining up with your ear height at the MLP.


  2. Get fully familiar with your receivers room correction type and setup procedures. If there are 6 or 8 different mic positions available at setup use them and rerun the room correction anytime you change what's in the room, your seating position , the speakers themselves or the speakers positions in the room and invest in a boom mic stand and camera mount adapter to keep the audio mic away from reflection points and try to reduce your rooms noise floor as much as possible before running the correction i.e. AC system, ceiling fans , screaming kids or wife.😏

  3. Learn more about passive room treatments. You don't have to go crazy and there are several companies that offer free online modeling programs to determine the type and number of treatments your room might need at affordable prices. GIK Acoustics and ATS Acoustics are 2 good ones that spring to mind.

    ATS Acoustics online acoustic analyzer

    GIK Acoustics analyzer

  4. Use good quality cables and connectors. Again you don't have to go crazy but getting good affordable cabling and connectors usually helps eliminate or reduce many minor troubleshooting issues to something other than the connectors and cables. Again Blue Jeans Cable and Mediabridge comes to mind but there are others.

  5. Download the freeware program REW and just play with it a bit. You'll need a calibrated audio mic with an HDMI cable or stereo RCA connector to fulfill its full potential but there is a built in room modeling program that anyone with a sealed rectangular room can get some good benefits from using without a mic or cable and it gives you time to get more comfortable with what is a fully equipped acoustical software program and did I mention that it's free.?

    Room Equalization Wizard

    There's more. Like learn speaker specifications and what they mean with regards to efficiency and power requirements but these are the major things that came to my mind ahead of bi- anything.

For the drummer, you'll want to get a boom mic stand. I got one for $20 at guitar center. Those can bend at the almost 90 degree angle you need to get it in the drummers face, but they work for standing up also!

Edit 2: Doesn't come with mic clip. Buy that one the other guy suggested. The Q & A led me astray.

Edit: This would be perfect for your needs and comes with a clip that I think would fit Rock Band mics: On Stage Stands MS7701B Tripod Boom Microphone Stand https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000978D58/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_awd_YvfEwbDDJ4FM3

Why not tape / stick them to the walls. I understand not being able to drill into the walls though. Most microphone stands / lighting stands will work as the pin / connectors are mostly universal. I have a studio which I am setting my VR stuff up in and I do audio production and photography and all the stands we have are compatible.

http://www.amazon.ca/Stage-Stands-MS7701-Tripod-Microphone/dp/B000978D58/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1456929652&sr=8-1&keywords=mic+stand

These are not bad, 3 legs should be more stable. They are boom arms so you can position them more accurately and are cheaper than the ones you linked. They should extend to about 7 foot tall or lower and can be angled which is handy and you usually get cable clamps with them so you can keep your power cables tidy. Also think about getting some weights on the legs just for extra stability because any movement in the lighthouse units will mean re calibration!

u/xx2000xx · 2 pointsr/hometheater

Well kind of the same deal, but my point still stands. I meant a boom mic with the adapter which is basically the same damn thing but a longer arm. The thing folds up and I haven't used mine in a while and I always think it's a tripod which it basically is.

I still think I'd win in court because it's logistics and tangible difference is putting it mildly, more like, after reading all the nuances of how to actually run audyssey, and no you don't pick up whatever shitty thing they give you and plop it in 8 different spots and think it'll be fine, you probably made it even worse actually because it's crazy precise and beyond amazing. The Judge would make you eat your hat unless you have a great lawyer.

Denon actually pays them to let them use it and it's the best in the world and you don't know how lucky you are to actually have the top of the line too. Take a pic or let me see your distance levels between the speakers and then just the Audyssey specs on the levels.

Here is what to get:

https://www.amazon.com/Stage-Stands-MS7701B-Tripod-Microphone/dp/B000978D58 - Boom/Tripod

https://www.amazon.com/CM01-Camera-Digital-Recorder-Adapter/dp/B001GWCC4I/ -- mic mount

The adapter that goes in the end and you screw in the mic perfectly and then you are ready to rock and roll to set it at perfect ear level, swivel it in 3 different positions so you don't have to go crazy by making sure all the positions are equal. Plus if you have a couch or recliner or something you can kind of work around it as best you can. So when you read the forums that is what they'll tell you to get too, although they are crazy over on AVS so I bet they will tell you to get some $200 boom mic/Tripod but that is just fine and what we've (people on avs) have been using for years, although I haven't been keeping up with the latest info the past few years. There are a few vids on youtube that I saw a year or two a go using a boom mic, which is how you do it, but I can only imagine the finer points of your setting.

I have a 4k TV that my 7.1 Denon doesn't display a picture at all, but that's not a problem for me because I remember ever single little setting on the receiver by heart so it's not even an issue for me and running it just fine through HDMI from computer to receiver then back to TV while still keeping all the bitstreaming and lossless formats which makes me think I can hold off even though I'm starring at the $500 3400H in my cart right now and it's a hell of a deal but with the new models coming out I'm sure we'll see it again.

u/prostudioreviews · 2 pointsr/headphones

> If I'm thinking about this right... if a dual entry headphone is not on the end, wouldn't you have to slide off the other headphones first to get it off?

Oh, ya' got me. Actually, I can slide two off the end with one hand, and then put one back. I'm not looking to be a gunslinger. But I also don't want to have to get super involved just to put on a pair of headphones, and then put them back for safe storage.

But, with what you and /u/Tryhard_TJ commented on, then hanging the dual entry cans near the ends would solve that problem.

Here's a good, solid boom mic stand.

at2020 and a Behringer 502 USb mixer.

As for the shock mount and mic stand. The AT2020 XLR comes with a mount that will screw on to any 5/8th mic stand thread. If you really want to go with a shock mount, than I ordered the Neewer shock mount, it was like 8 bucks, thing works great and fits the AT2020 perfectly.

Here are a couple links

You will also need an XLR cable, look for one with Neutrik connectors. I'm not sure how many of those ship to Aussie, but that is my setup and I love it.

u/BangsNaughtyBits · 2 pointsr/podcasts

I use an On Stage MY-420 Shock Mount which just fits the barrel of the mic

http://www.amazon.com/On-Stage-MY-420-Studio-Microphone/dp/B001AUSOAW/

and at that point any 5/8" stand will work. I've used an On Stage DS300B desk stand

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002ZO3JM/

and an On Stage MS7701B Boom Stand

http://www.amazon.com/Stage-Stands-MS7701B-Tripod-Microphone/dp/B000978D58/

but it will work with any standard stand. The issue with the ATR2100 and the AT2005 is the barrel of the mic is large compared to other mics and the mic clip needs to handle it's extra girth. Having the shock mount helps as well of course.

u/ChelatedMonoxide · 2 pointsr/recording

Yes, there are recorders that can record multiple tracks. Like the Tascam DR-40 has XLR inputs. I'm not necessarily endorsing the Tascam. I have the DR-05 and find it acceptable quality. Something like the Zoom H4N has XLR connectors built in, so you could record a mic into those and use the built in condenser mics to record your guitar.

You left out some relevant information: Budget, can your guitar be plugged in or will you mic it? Do you have a pretty sound free workspace?

I think budget is the most important part here. I interpret 'nothing flashy' as being a cheap as it can get without being poor quality.

I'm gonna link to listings on Amazon because it's easiest, but B&H or if you live near a Guitar Center might be a better place to buy.

A possible setup:

  • ART Dual USB Preamp - $80 - This will allow you to plug in one mic and your guitar and output the track to your computer via USB. Depending on the software, I believe you can have the tracks separate for editing, but they would separate into left and right channels that you'd then combine into a stereo track after editing.


  • Shure SM58 - $100 - A dynamic vocal mic that will play well in a not so perfect recording space. Check out Regina Spektor using one during a concert. This mic is so popular I would make sure to only get it from a reputable dealer i.e. not used on ebay, because there are fakes floating around.

    If you need/want to mic your guitar then consider the SM-57. It is nearly identical to the SM58. Here is a guy demonstrating using one to record his guitar.

  • If $100 is insanely out of your budget, then consider the Behringer XM8500 - $20 - Not as high quality as the SM58, but still a decent sound. Here is a guy comparing the SM57 to the XM8500 and is using just one mic for voice and guitar, without using a preamp, so keep that in mind when comparing the audio (I hear some noise in the audio, probably noise from the line to the camera, which I presume has some sort of automatic gain happening).

    This guy's video makes me wonder if just an SM57 with a decent preamp (i.e. one with clean gain) might be all you'd need... but that isn't ideal. You could go with two XM8500s, one for guitar and one for vocals ($40). Or one SM58 for vocals and one XM8500 for guitar($120). That all comes down to budget and preferences.

  • You'll need a mic stand, or two. The On-Stage MS7701B is a best seller on Amazon. I own one of these and it isn't going to impress anyone. I've never had it tip over or seem unsteady. If you extend the boom arm too far it can sometimes slowly droop over time (I may be guilty of not tightening it enough due to not wanting to strip the threads) It does the job of holding a mic in place. If you go with two mics, you could get two of them. You could also get a desk stand for the mic that is recording your guitar and find a suitable place to set it, but I think the boom arm of the MS7701B will be useful for keeping the stand out of your way.

  • And you will need cables. I recommend the cables from Monoprice, their Pro Audio series. It is not as user friendly to find the exact cables you'll need as a site like B&H, but I have had several of their cables and only had one die on me. All their cables have a lifetime warranty and the prices are shockingly low.

  • And a windscreen or pop filter for the mics is nice. There is a decent windscreen on Amazon for 3 bucks, sometimes 2 bucks.

    Potential Changes & other thoughts -

    A more expensive preamp - ART Tube Dual Mic Preamp With USB - $190- this has some compression and a limiter. It's debatable whether in this range it would be better to get a decent mixer, a preamp for your vocals, and let the preamp on the mixer handle the guitar, or if something like this would be better. Like a Behringer mixer - Q802USB ($80) + ART single channel Preamp for vocals ($40/$50) would be less money than the Dual USB preamp.

    Or maybe just the Q802USB would suffice for your needs. It has preamps already built in. They are not the best preamps in the world. I mean... after all I wrote above, the more I think about it the more I think you should try a Q802USB and see if the sound is what you're wanting.

    Headphones - Add in some headphones to monitor your audio. ATH-M40x ($100) would be my recommendation, but this is where a lot of personal preference comes into the mix, no pun intended.

    Different mics - Rode has some mics that compare the the Shure SM57/58 that might be better. And the options for mic are virtually limitless, when you consider not just the mics can vary, but the audio interfaces and processing options. I really think a dynamic mic will be most user friendly for a one off home recording.

    I hope I haven't confused more than I helped. I think the essentials are this: good mics, clean gain, easy to use. Whether you get the dual channel ART preamp or the Q802USB, either will be easy to use. I would bet the gain on the ART preamp is cleaner, meaning less background hiss at higher levels, than the Q802USB, but perhaps that is just an unreasonable bias. In either case, the mic is going to be important and where your budget plays a big role. The SM58 and SM57 are superb for vocals and recording guitar. A condenser might be better if the acoustics of your recording space allow for it, but I hope you saw from the video I linked of the guy recording his guitar with the SM57 that a great sound can be achieved with a $100 mic. If that is out of your budget, keep in mind the XM8500, but the sound is not as clear as the Shure mics it tries to emulate.

Hey. I have an AT2020 and have been using it with a desk mount. I was wondering mic stand are you using because I am thinking of purchasing this one?

u/pookin · 2 pointsr/boardgames

A basic checklist

Cameras

Would recommend 2, one for the board and one for the players (Recommend either the Logitech 920 or 930)

Microphone

Need one good mic don't use built in mics (laptops or web cameras). (Recommend a Blue Yeti)

Software

OBS is free to use and will do everything you need.

Lighting

This is not needed but highly recommended as normal lighting tends to create a lot of glare off the board having lights with diffusers helps fix that issue.

Camera Stand

Need some sort of rig to get the over head shot. We use a mic stand with an adaptor
__

A basic set up will probably cost around $200-300. Our setup cost a lot more than that but we have a very complicated set up for our stream.

As for reading chat you can use the laptop if it is in view or sign onto Twitch via your phone to see chat.

Let me know if you have any other question.

u/JAWS_OF_FIRE · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

This mic stand is pretty good, but I can't really recommend it for the Yeti. The Yeti is a bit heavy and if you extend the arm on the stand it won't be able to hold the mic up. I've solved this with a very inelegant counterweight.

The monitor stands are really great. They're strong and very versatile. Would recommend.

I don't use that mic, but I do use a floor stand and I absolutely love it from reducing desk noises. Works like a charm. Amazon sells several kinds just make sure it can work with yours.

Mic stand to act as boom: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000978D58?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage

The recorder writes to an SD card. I learned the hard way that you want to get one of the fast high-performance cards rather than the standard cheap thing that comes with the device. Otherwise the data comes in faster than the card can record and it just stops halfway through. When you're a one-man crew like me and you can't sit there and watch the recorder to make sure everything's going fine, it really sucks to cut and then see the audio stopped two minutes ago. Same goes for the camera, get a high-performance card.

The main drawback to using the mic stand instead of having someone hold the boom is that you can't really move in the scene. Otherwise you hear the actor's voice get louder as they approach the mic. A lav mic would solve that problem; I've never used them so I have no experience there at all.

Oh, and I have a T3i as well, I've been really happy with it. Here's an episode of my webseries I shot with all this stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=By5LflOE1gI

u/Mumbolian · 1 pointr/letsplay

I most certainly can I recommend this stand and this pop filter.

I did a lot of research into finding a stand that could support the blue yeti and this one is great for the price. A lot of ones around the price range are too flimsy in my opinion.



As I said previously, you should probably order the blue yeti from america. £80 vs £120 was a no brainer and if you contact amazon support via their chat like I did you can say "I'm having second thoughts and want to cancel it" but it was already on the way for me so instead they emailed me a free returns slip within a month of purchase to put on a parcel. They also said I could open it if I wanted. In the end I decided to keep the yeti anyway, but I had heard bad things about background noise and it had made my nervous. Anyway it was an awesome deal! Make sure you gift wrap to avoid VAT ;)

or this? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002MJTZ8/ref=gno_cart_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

I found a bundle on amazon that comes with a pop filter and an XLR cable too. And I'm a pretty fair producer I'm sure I could get a good sound going. Thanks for the help man :D

I use this to mount my webcam at times.

I use this with a shock mount and it works perfectly.

Mics:

u/Mikzeroni · 1 pointr/podcasts

Microphone: Get a dynamic mic. I recommend the ATR-2100 or the ATR-2005 which functions as USB and XLR.

Mixer: I usually get some hate for recommending the Zoom H4n or Zoom H6, but they do the job for quite the low price. Also consider the Behringer 1024.

Headphones: These headphones are quite pricy, but I've heard good stuff about these Sony headphones. You can always check out Daniel J. Lewis' post about headphones.

Mic stand: I think we may be over budget at this point, but you can pick up some Musician's Gear Boom stands from Guitar Center or the On Stage mic stand. There are some scissor arms for cheap, but they are made cheap.

I hear you, I wish I had a better stand for my mic so that I didn;t have to hunch over my desk as much xD If you are that far from your desk, a floor mounted boom arm type mic stand would work for you.

I'd be happy to listen to one of your videos and give you feedback. I'll just pick your most recent video (Ghost Recon Phantoms - Ep.07 - Metro).

  • You're intro seems a bit long. This is personal preference, but I've found 3-7 seconds is a good length.

  • Your voice sounds a bit flat to me. I would suggest boosting your treble and bass slightly.

  • The clarity of your voice is great though, can hear you very well.

    For headset recommendations I would suggest and Astro A40 or A30 which has the best frequency response I've seen for gaming headsets. They can be a bit pricey though. Sennheiser and SteelSeries Syberia are also good candidates (although the Steelseries is the same price as the Astro).

    The Astros have the best frequency response, which will capture some more of the lows and highs. This will help with the "flat" tones I mentioned. However for $200 you can get a pretty nice Audio Technica or Blue Snowball/Yeti setup with a stand and shock mount.

Im currently using the Podcaster, so this is a pretty bias'd opinion.

If your desk have space for it, a boom arm like the RØDE PSA1 (UK Amazon Link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/RØDE-Swivel-Mount-Studio-Microphone/dp/B001D7UYBO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1474200451&sr=8-1&keywords=psa1) compliments the Podcaster really well.

If not, then a simple tripod mount (American Amazon Link: https://www.amazon.com/Stage-Stands-MS7701B-Tripod-Microphone/dp/B000978D58) would prob. also do the trick.

TL;DR A boom arm is really great for the PODCASTER, because, since it is a dynamic mic, you need it to be about a fists length away from your mouth, (at least from my experience.) and a boom arm gives you a lot of flexibility in terms of positioning the mic.

Oh yeah, use this part of the offical RØDE website to check where you can buy their microphones, and microphone stands(If you didn't know already): http://www.rode.com/wheretobuy

Wait how does it only work with their branded mounts? My friend told me that this stand works with it because, well, he uses it. Or am I misunderstanding what you mean?

And I'm not trying to say the yeti is better or anything, just trying to understand that part. That samson mic is very good too!

u/Kroteux · 1 pointr/letsplay

If you have room on the floor, you can get a mic stand. By having it on the floor instead of your desk, the mic won't pick up vibrations from your keyboard or mouse.

u/frozenfoxy · 1 pointr/letsplay

I agree with /u/bluesmcgroove that the Blue Radius is a good one, but you can certainly go with non-Blue stands as well. I personally use this stand as it works well for me -> http://www.amazon.com/Stage-Stands-MS7701-Tripod-Microphone/dp/B000978D58/

Pretty inexpensive and you can clip whatever filter you use to it easily. Of course, this is if you have a spot to set it next to you to swivel the arm in front of you. There were some other people who recommended one that clamps onto your desk in the past, but I can't say I have experience with those ones.

u/Mr_Paquette · 1 pointr/letsplay

i don't use a shock mount at the moment but This! is the mic stand that i use, its simple and light weight and its really really cheap. I am going to upgrade to a better stand and also invest in a shock mount when i get my own place and have more room to expand my setup.

Edit: i should say that this is the second stand that i have had to order, but the first one lasted me a little over a year and it was the same model.

u/TheRealJake9041 · 1 pointr/Twitch

I've noticed that just having a cheap microphone stand for your mic does wonders for background noise.

u/GinkoWeed · 1 pointr/microphones

Wow, I have never even thought of that. Wouldn't work for my setup, but it's interesting. I think you would have to go with a separate stand and just lower it. Something like this.

u/distortednet · 1 pointr/Twitch

did a bit of research, this stand according to the Q&A section for it is compatible with the blue yeti. its the same stand I use for my AT2020 and works great. It's very basic (ie: no 360 degree movement) but still has alot of options for movement/placement. been pretty happy with it, and I am not sure you can get any cheaper to be honest :D
