Microphone technology for recording and Zoom OM questions

Sandy,

My suggestion would be to explore using your Solo for the audio and your Samsung as the camera. I wrote about how to do that in this Topic: Producing a video with phone cam and an audio interface. It is not too difficult to set up. You would need the mic stand.

Then you can try recording using just the condensor. You may have to experiment with mic placement but should be able to produce a recording with that mic that sounds good. And you have no need to get into learning how to use a DAW, like Reaper, Ableton etc.

My approach is based on plugging the guitar in and making use of it’s built-in electronics and singing into a dynamic mic. That also works well but depending on the quality of the electronics you may be disappointed in how your guitar sounds when recorded that way. And you’d need to purchase an additional mic.

Keep asking questions and I’m sure we can help you figure this out.

I’m going to move this over to the relevant Sub-category.
