Hi all,
I want to buy a mic as cheap as possible to record my voice (spoken word mostly - to manipulate and insert in my electronic music).
Equipment: ibook g4 1 Ghz 640 mb ram.
Which mic is extremely cheap yet of reasonable quality?
Thanks in advance,
Joost

I also have a Behringer B-1 and I like it a lot.
I am not quite sure why everyone assumes that
Behringer sucks because it is lower cost.

Yes, Behringer isn't top of the line, but for
someone who doesn't make any money
creating music the B-1 is a reliable tool and
of relative high quality.

I plan on trying more Behringer products in
the very near future (specifically monitors
and headphones) and I will let others know
what I think of them on the Mac Music forums.

Related Story:
Went to GuitarCenter to check out Mic Cables and
I told the store representative that bought the B-1
and that it cost $100 dollars. He then said "Oh,
you can't record with a hundred dollar mic you need
something that costs at least $500. Let me show you
these models over here." I they replied "I can't
afford to spend $500 on a microphone. Have you
ever used a Behringer B-1?" To which he answered
"No."

How can he tell me the B-1 sucks if he has never used it?
This advice wasn't coming from Pavarotti, it was coming
from the wannabe rock star at Guitar Center.
