Comparing ATR2100 and 2500, for recording songs only using laptop, which would has less distortion of voice and less static?

Not sure which would be better. My experience is with the 2100. What I can say is distortion of any kind has not been even an ounce of an issue. I actually like using it for recording guitar and vocals better than the lexicon alpha I was using.

Though I have never used the ATR2500, I did read the specs and it's a superior instrument compared to the 2100. The price tells the story as well. The 2500 is a condenser microphone where-as the 2100 is a dynamic type. The frequency response is wider with the 2500. I am very pleased with the performance of the ATR2100-USB using it for recording acoustic and electric guitar, percussion instruments, and vocals. For the price you can't go wrong. I am running Windows Vista home premium 32 bit with 2gb of ram on a 5 year old HP/Compaq Presario using Audacity sound editing free software and the results are fine. I hope this helps

The microphone can handle high SPL. If it distorts, there may be something you need to adjust in the mixer or P.A.

I have done many interviews with both of my x920s, and have had no problems. If you have concerns, use an additional audio recorder, and then simply synch the music with the video. I always have a separate audio recording, just in case....although, as I said, I haven't had any problems with internal noise.

It really depends on what your intended uses are... The 280s are big, and most people would see them as somewhat impractical for portable use. That said, I use mine all the time when I'm out with my mp3 player. I will warn you though, if you have low-quality mp3s (anything under 192, really), the 280s will let you know very quickly that you need recordings encoded at higher bitrates. It's the double-edged sword of high-end audio equipment.

You'll get a decent vocal sound out of it, but an SM57 will be more versatile for recording instruments, especially guitar amps. Might want to look into a condenser mic instead.

I have the Rode video mic pro, purchased before I bought the Shure VP83 (without the on-board recorder - I have a pro camcorder that records uncompressed audio). The Shure has much less handling noise. All around, the Shure is a better mic. It's worth double the price considering its meaningful and significant advantages over the Rode. Finally, as an Amazon purchaser, you have the back up of a stellar on-line retailer for return purposes.

Yeah ....I use the shure sm58 and the rode m1...but I recommend using the shure beata 58 or any super cardoroid microphone instead of using dynamic because the dynamic picks up other sounds around you. if you are using the looping feature.But if its just use for singing then any microphone is fine

Look into the Focusrite Scarlett series. The pre-amps are great, and it puts out up to 24 bits/96 kHz. If you're going to be recording at home, make sure to get some basic treatment for better monitoring. Good luck:)

I,m not 100 percent sure , but any computer with a line in and half decent audio software will accept it fairly well as this is how I am recording atm , but naturally keeping an eye on your input levels becomes your biggest problem , sorry couldn't answer exact question , :(

Roland is versatile enough to record for youtube and facebook quality " Use the embedded microphone close to the source at mid level level recording.You perhaps can consider the Zoom 4H N if you want something more'professional' because you can use a condenser microphone with a XLR plug with a 48volts power.

Hello, Audio2000s 6023vm system requires "Microphone Input" to plug in. Therefore we do not recommend this to be used with PC and using any adapter will cause the sound quality (very low/no sound at all). Hope this help Thank you

go with the pc350se IF you don't want to hear anything but whats coming through the headphones. I think overall I like the PC350se's better because of construction. I actually prefer to hear things in the room and the pc360's are nice for that, plus I think I prefer their sound slightly better but I had to sell one so I sold the PC360's. I use the "Listen to this device" soundblaster option so I can at least hear myself talk through the microphone on the pc350se's

It's okay, if you're just reviewing work. My friend had recorded her kids singing using hers. It's okay, sort of comparable to a tape-based microrecorder - 32kbps bitrate for the recorded audio. Wouldn't do well with background accompaniment.

This is not intended to be a professional quality mic. The AT2020-USB+ would be a much better choice.

What are you using this for? Mixers are for live performance, not the best way to record. The Alpha is a good VALUE but not the best, You buy this because it is 1/2 the price of the Persons or Focusrite interface

Yes, remember this is a stereo mic. Sound card that supports stereo mini jack will allow best recording I used with the turtle beach USB sound device with laptop. Clean recording . Good field sound pickup ,,, conference table application for meetings Skype , hang outs as long as participants aren't freeked out by size. Setting for cardioid and hyper cardioid is real change in recording. No phantom power Power switch activates internal aaa bat ... So yes with PC sry verbose reply.

Not sure it you have purchased the product already. Wanted to replay as the 500s are on 'Today's deal' and the difference is 30 now. hope you get email for this reply. I compared both the system when I bought them year ago and chose 500. The difference was not 200 for me in a local electronics store. If you listen to lot of music, I guess the difference is justified.
