Any tips on that beat program?]]> In The Studio Saber https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/microphones-and-beats/#post-165327 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/microphones-and-beats/#post-165297 Mon, 13 Mar 2006 23:15:45 +0000
Turn the input level down to 0, before plugging in, and then turn it up s-l-o-w-l-y.

And as I said before, the switch on the silver one probably doesn't turn the mic itself on/off. It's to pause a tape recorder that is plugged into the smaller plug.]]> In The Studio kent_eh https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/microphones-and-beats/#post-165297 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/microphones-and-beats/#post-165126 Mon, 13 Mar 2006 11:50:05 +0000 They should work when you plug them into the sound card in your computer. What you do have to ensure, is that the microphone channel is activated, in the Play Control (Options, Properties, Recording).]]> In The Studio greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/microphones-and-beats/#post-165126 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/microphones-and-beats/#post-165110 Mon, 13 Mar 2006 10:23:20 +0000 In The Studio Saber https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/microphones-and-beats/#post-165110 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/microphones-and-beats/#post-165106 Mon, 13 Mar 2006 10:02:38 +0000
Plug 'em into the "mic input" of your soundcard, and record yourself reading or singing. Then repeat with the other one.

... I'm not sure what you mean "how to use them". If you mean "what type of recording are they best suited to", then that'll mostly depend on what they sound like.

The silver one looks like it has 2 plugs. The larger of the 2 will be the audio out, the small one will be for pausing a cassette recorder, using the switch on the mic.
I wouldn't expect this one to sound too great, it was probably a cheap mic that came with a cassette recorder for taping people talking.
(that part number looks like a Radio Shack part number to me.... Google-de-Google... Yup, it is. )

And the other one.
A bit of googlage identifies the F-V220 as a Sony mic that can be bought new for less than $20.
It's probably the better of the pair, but I wouldn't expect great things from it.]]> In The Studio kent_eh https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/microphones-and-beats/#post-165106 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/microphones-and-beats/#post-16204 Mon, 13 Mar 2006 07:45:24 +0000 The small one has this written on the side.
33-2001A
DYNAMIC
MIKE
IMP.500(I think amp symbol.)

Big one:

F-V220
DYNAMIC
MIKE

Also does anyone know of any beat program/drum machine that can be imported into audacity.

Thanks, yo.
