After doing some research, I found out how many different mics there are out there & which ones are best for vocals, instruments and so forth. Dynamic microphones are usually used for live instruments like bass, electric guitar or drums. Actually, dynamic microphones are usually used when recording any live sound. A Condenser microphone, also known as a capacitor mic, is used for recording vocals because it is very sensitive & can actually record sounds that the human ears cannot hear. (Interesting!). Usually they are more expensive, but they are great when you are in need of an accurate recording of sound. On the other hand, even though I didn’t find anything on the type of mic in a pair of headphones, that mic can be used for little things, or other smaller projects but when it comes to recording professionally it is not the best choice. Today in class, our group was able to use the Blue Snowball Microphone. The sound it recorded turned out very well and it was extremely easy to use. I decided to look into the facts of this microphone and found out that it is considered a condenser microphone. Although its probably best to be used as a vocal mic, but it can also be used to record instruments. As we continue this cover project, I’m interested to see what other mics we can find to record different instruments!
