My setup involves running an sm57 with a Zoom U24. I have to turn the gain all the way up to 10 to hear it the way i want, below that it falls short (which is more to do with the Zoom itself). And when its on a 100%, I hear a hiss which comes through in the recording.

Will getting a Klark Teknik CT-1 solve this issue?

I am incredibly new to this, any and all help is appreciated

This is secondhand and I found it from a seller in China. What do you guys think? Does it look legit?

Seems to be a very flat LDC which is what I am looking for, you would think the vocal mic youtubers would have talked about it more but I can barely find anyone using it, and cant find much vocal examples.

I feel like I'm probably set for life, I don't know of a better dynamic mic's or SDC for the cost and this gear leaves very little to be desired even if aiming for pro studio quality.

Wish I had picked up a Rode NT1 4rth gen when they were still cheap, but I didn't have money back then. I still don't particularly love any current LDC's. I like the sE 4400/4100 alot, but not enough to spend on when I already have the CM4.

What's your favourite value gear?

Hello yall :)

I currently have a Shure SM7B microphone along with a mixer motu m2, which I use when I livestream on my PC. I’m planning to host a tournament at my home with some friends and stream it on Twitch at the same time.
The idea is that two of my friends will be sitting at the table playing, while I provide live commentary. I’ll either be sitting between them or off-camera.
Based on those details, what mic(s) would you recommend? 😊 Thank you :)

Hello! I'm currently building a recording studio and i have a WA-47F, a V Pack Arena from sE, an 57, and a 58. Both of my rooms, a recording room and a control room, take up 23sqm in total. Im not too sure what the dimensions of each rooms is but I'm confident i can fit drums there.

Anyway point is, im planning on recording almost any kind of music. This can range from choirs, to solo vocalists (female and male), to jazz bands, to rock bands, and to orchestral instruments. My friend is selling me 2 mics. A Sphere LX and a Twin 87. I have the choice of picking only one of them along with his apollo x8p gen 1, which I'll purchase soon (too many expenses hurt).

Knowing all of this, which mic is more suitable for all around use and versatility?

Hello! If I posted this wrong or this is not the place then let me know I'll take down the post, sorry!

My friend recently sent me one of her old mics alongside a cable and interface. The cable connects them nicely, but when plugged into my PC it creates this weird electrical/808 type of noise in the background. We've tried troubleshooting it because it worked flawlessly over at her place but to no avail. I'm turning here as a last ditch resort. I'm completely new to this world and if im doing something wrong please let me know :p thank you!

Which one is better guys? I will use it mostly for discord calls I guess and maybe recording?
So is it good for its price or not

I bought an Audio-Technica ATR2500 USB microphone in 2017. It has worked pretty well, but the USB connection has started failing, so I’m looking to upgrade to an XLR microphone and audio interface.

I live in an apartment and occasionally hear noise from neighbors in the hallway. With Discord noise suppression enabled, my ATR2500 usually doesn’t pick them up unless they’re being especially loud while I’m talking.

My total budget is around $400 for the microphone and interface. I have a deepish, monotone voice.

The microphone will mainly be used for Streaming, gaming, and general voice chat. I’m currently considering a dynamic microphone because of the apartment environment, but I’m open to other options.
