I do hear some hissing but it's really minimal in my setup, which is just recording into a PC in my room.

True, you can't hear yourself when recording. As others have mentioned, this is no studio-quality mic and you get what you pay for, but if you're just starting out like me then this a good place. close [-]

So far my experience has been a pleasant one with the microphone and I haven't experienced the hissing sound that others have reported. However, I do have some difficulty with the recordings I make as far as volume goes. I've turned the mic to 48dB and still my clips are quiet at times. This can be corrected with any good audio software and may simply be an issue with the soundcard in my PC. I've been using it on my laptop as well and it sounds great. I'd reccommend this product to anyone that wants an easy, affordable solution for simply recording. I use it to record my podcasts and DJ online and haven't had any problems with it to date. close [-] |
