Is this a good microphone for recording vocal? Is the sound quality better than snowball?

It's a very good vocal recording device. I use it for weekly podcasting. I've never recorded with a snowball device

Excellent for vocal. As good or better than snowball. Adjusts easily with the headphone jack and volume control on the mic body. Hope this helps,

I do believe so! It has very crisp, clear sound recording for it's price, for sure. I'd also buy a windscreen (pop filter) to ease out the harsh "P's" and "S's", as well as minimizing wind and other faint background noise. I bought one of these, then cut out a small hole on the face to make room for the USB to fit through~On Stage Foam Ball-Type Mic Windscreen, Black

This microphone produces an internal noise, sort of close to a high B above middle C. It's good for a shotgun technique for things like Youtube videos, but I wouldn't use it for production level videos. Here's a stupid video I did with this mic. Notice the hum. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0EJul05cIo

I think its comparable but to be honest its not a good mic. I think it's either refurbished or a cheap fake. People complained about squealing when set anywhere above 4--5 using it below those settings makes it a useless purchase. I'm shopping for a replacement.

Dear Lee Rand Hi.., Snowball Microphone has not adjustable or Mute button, so you should adjust it by windows software during recording process.

Yes, it works OK for recording but you have to make sure you do it in a place without any noise since the mic picks up any sound around it... Where I have my system there is an old computer about 15 ft. away from mine and I can hear it in the recordings I have done. I guess the best would be to have it in a sound proof room.

Its a great mic for simple recording, if you're looking for high end studio quality you may want to spend a little more. But I've done some great recording with this mic

If you have an audio interface, you'd be better off getting a ribbon mic if the violin is where your issues lie. The yeti is a condenser, most of which sound unflattering on strings. Condensers tend to hype the "scratchy" frequencies of violin, and remove the "lush" frequencies. Ribbons tend to tame the scratchiness, and preserve the lushness for a very sweet sound. You can find a much better violin mic than this for well under $1000. Look up cascade microphones, they make great ribbons on the cheap. Only then you need an interface if you don't have one. It's probably time to get one anyway, if you're searching for higher quality recordings. Side note - be aware that ribbons are generally low output so you will likely experience some noise with quiet sources, unless you have nice mic pres.

This is a perfect mic for vocals. I chose it because it had better low-end sound than any other mic in this price range. Very warm, rich sound and crisp clean highs. Better than mics twice the price.

This microphone with the correct wire connecter and your keyboard take a microphone. You should not have a problem. I suggest not use for singing, it would be best for instruments. Why? Unless you speak or sing directly in it to get better quality sound. It is a very good microphone. I enjoy using it.

For singing, I wouldn't recommend this for someone who would just be starting. If she knows her way around sound equipment and software then I'd definitely recommend this or something of equal quality for the price. The microphone itself can only interface the computer through the mixer and then the USB hookup. This provides better quality than some other microphones when configured properly, but it's also more sensitive and will require a stand, and pop filter, which are not included in the set. I spent no more than $150 on this and the other equipment I bought for the purpose of live-streaming on the internet. Overall I'm highly satisfied with the use and quality i've gotten out of behringer products, but for your purposes I'm unsure of wether this is the best option.

This is a studio grade mic, and was used on the show Nashville in one of their scenes. If it's good enough for that, and the voice over work I have used it for it will probably good enough for dragon...

I used this set up to record a bunch of spoken word poetry so I would say yes.my understanding is the mic is also designed to work well in environments that are not acoustically sound. So again, you should be good.

That really depends on what you need. If you need the absolute best in recording quality, you could easily spend thousands of dollars on a better sounding mic. If you need a less expensive mic, again there are plenty. That being said it produces a good sound, has good gain control, is very portable, very sturdy, and it does the job for a semi-pro portable mic.

No, this mic all round is no good. It's not worth the LONG wait either. I highly suggest looking for a different microphone. I beat box a lot and wanted a mic so I got this, Audio-Technica ATR-1300 Unidirectional Dynamic Vocal/Instrument Microphone It is a really decent microphone, and I haven't had a single problem with it.

I've only tried a little bit of recording with it (for testing), but the quality when I played back the recording I made with it was good enough that my Dad thought I was just singing the same line over again. I can't say for sure that it is as good as a $100+ microphone, but I am pleased with the quality so far, and I'd be surprised if there is anything much better.I should note, however, that I have not yet tested it with multiple singers and instruments.
