[HIP-HOPKING1]

woops!......sorry for tha mistake !!!.........i mean MXL 990 NOT MML 990......LOL......HOLLA......

i have the B1 and it has the perfect rap sound. (if you have a good pre-amp). i have no complaints accept it can be a little bassy. but cool edit can fix that. make sure you have phantom power.

the Studio Projects B1 is cheaper, about 80 bux and i like it a lot. i havent heard of good reviews on the Behringer B1

beat broker thanks 4 tha advice.......i trust you since you got the mic yourself...........but how do i use it using my p.c..?......do i need any aditional cables etc?.......holla.................help!!........

you need to get a pre-amp with phantom power (48v). if cost is a issue I would go with the tascam 122 or the duo(not sure of the company that makes them) the two pre amps listed connect to your pc through usb. the 122 is powered through the usb which is good for laptops. I have had both and i prefer the tascam because it has rca and hedphone outputs so you can controll all of your pc's sound through it(if you set the input and output to the usb port)

for a condensor mic you'll need a pre amp, but you can get very cheap ones - like this:

you get what you pay for but with the mic you're talking about and (i assume) just a normal on board soundcard, then this unit is easily good enough for the job.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Don't even think about getting the Behringer B1 mic. It is a very thin too airry high end mic. The MXL 990 is okay. But I'll tell you this. Any of these mics will do you good under 100 bucks
1. Studio Projects-$79
this is a VERY clean mic. ummm...heres an example

He uses a Studio Projects B1 on his songs.

2. MXL V67- I think that's it
never expierienced but heard positive reviews.

You'll need a preamp with every condenser. My preamp came in the Mixer.
I got a Behringer Eurorack UB1002. It will give you a crystal clear sound
I copped it for 59 bucks.
You can get the lower versions for like 40 and 50 also.

I use a SM58 on my vocals. But I hate it. Dynamic mics are wierd when equalizing. heres my audios with the SM58

Now I use a Studio Projects B1. It's good

yo Swoosha-B, do you have your mixer hooked up to your pc, if so what software do you use.
