w_scott_iv@yahoo 1000 Post Club Member Registered: 12/29/05 Posts: 1119 Loc: West Virginia	Hi all, I hope I'm in the right place. I just downloaded 'Audacity' so that I can record using my laptop. I'd like some suggestions as to the best mic I can use (at different price ranges). I have a pre-amp, but prefer not to use it in order to simplify the process. I appreciate any help you can give.

mfortin Full Member Registered: 03/06/06 Posts: 125 Loc: Quebec, Canada	If you want a more professional recording, I would suggest not to plug a microphone directly to the computer but to use a pre amp with balanced XLR input. _________________________ Ce qui se concoit bien s'enonce clairement et les mots pour le dire viennent aisement.

debrucey 2000 Post Club Member Registered: 01/18/06 Posts: 2513 Loc: Manchester, UK	The best mic for recording piano that doesnt require external power source or for you to sell your house to be able to afford it is the Shure SM57. I have a pair, which i can place right inside the piano pointing at the strings. The sounds is rich, powerful and doesnt distort at all, even when I play Rachmaninoff. _________________________ Kapustin - Preludes Op. 53, Nos. 8, 12, 9 and 10 Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata Ravel - Une Barque sur l'Ocean Esa-Pekka Salonen - Organisme, from Dichotomie Chopin - Ballade No. 4
