Microphone Suggestions

I was wondering of anyone(anypony) has had any experience recording music. I am specifically asking for suggestions for what microphone I should start with for recording. I play violin, ukulele and other mid to high ranged instruments.

I have a really big suggestion and that is when it comes to music making advice and techniques i would recommend giving my little remix a shot. It's for the brony music community and it's a music making forum first and pony site second. They really know their stuff.

 

Looking at their archives here are few on-topic threads.

Should be a lot of options in those threads and likely a few other threads too for other musical questions you may have. ;)


I have made brony music since 2011. I like all kinds of music and genres. I'm sure you'll like some of it..

Here's My YouTube..I have several albums on Bandcamp and Pony.FM.

Check out the 20+ Musician project Maressey which I am running.

Anything audio technica is pretty good, but I strongly advise you stay away from lavalier microphones! If you were to buy a mic make sure it is a USB mic!!! They don't sound quite as good as other mics but they save you a lot of trouble in the long run

As a techie I was rather hoping I could help here but to be perfectly honest, I'm not entirely sure what type you'd use here. 

I wouldn't think a dynamic microphone would be suitable in this situation, but either a condenser of ribbon.  Be aware ribbon microphones are not cheap. 

 

If you're not going professional then maybe consider a condenser microphone.

 

These microphones will probably come with an XLR connector so if you don't have the right connections, it may be a problem.

You can buy USB condenser microphones that feature an on-board sound card.

 

What capture/edit software are you using?
