... I was cleaning up a drawer, found $75 in Amazon.com Gift Certs. Went over, selected the Snowball USB mic, paid using the GCs, and it's on its way here. Should be a fun way to record using my laptop when I don't want to use the full rig. Anyone here uses a snowball too?

So this morning, I took an Ovation Elite T, the Snowball, a Vista laptop loaded w/ a copy of Audacity, and decided to record as follows: 1st track: rhythm guitar + vocals at the same time 2nd track: "solo" guitar I didn't want to use an equalizer or anything like that. Just straight into audacity, then export to mp3. One take for each track. Not looking for pretty, just trying to get a feel for the microphone and how easy it is to use. The result: www.mojocaster.com/mp3/snowtest.mp3What do you guys think? (btw, sorry for the vocals. I am still fighting a nasty case of bronchitis and have even less range than I normally do, to say nothing of no power because basically, I am winded and wheezin'

I like that swift record. Pure and clean, nice mic and of course nice musical performance Mojo.

Thanks. I think that this mic is a winner for me.

Sounds excellent to me. (I admit I had to search the interwebs to see what it looked like. )

I like this quite alot. I was wondering if you used something like a tune port to get the guitar into the pc, or recorded it straight from the snowball.

Nope, the point was to try out the mic, so everything was recorded straight through the snowball.
Very cool trick I was given today:

The sound was very good. Do you ever use a mic preamp? Phil
