Its price is for like 50 $ and I have that cash right now(dont tell me to wait and get 100 $ for Shure SM58 because i dont have preamp etc and i dont have 50 more bucks ) and I want to know : Will it sound good for Underground Hardcore Style Rapping ?
Thanks to all
A: That microphone should do fine. If it were me, I would wait to get the SM58, though. They sound terrific.
The more important thing to consider for sound quality is your recording equipment. Recording digitally will give you the best quality, provided you have a good D/A converter. I use an old mAudio Delta 1010 for recording directly into a computer, where I can burn CD’s to my heart’s content. It costs a few hundred dollars, but well worth it. You could find cheaper D/A’s that will work fine for what you want to do, I’m sure. The best part is that the sound is truly crystal clear, so once you get it captured, there’s really nothing else you need to do.
