What have you found is the best mic to use with this, for a female singer who also plays an acoustic electric Taylor with internal pickup?

I am currently using the spark by blue microphones it works great ad it's not to expensive, the boss has phantom power so the choices are endless!!

I would plug in the guitar direct and use the effect "p51 for LP (AC SIM)". For vocals the built in microphones work decent. If you buy a separate condenser mic that will work better, but you likely have to spend $600+ for a good condenser mic.

Depends on your budget and application (mostly budget). Go to a music store and try a few mics.

Yes, I've used both a standard dreadnaught acoustic, and also an acoustic bass. Seems even more stable, due to the less weight. The key is getting a really solid mic stand with a strong base.

I have plugged in a guitar and vocal mic to get that old 1950's reverb effect and it worked quite nicely. I also sang vocal notes into it trying out various settings and found it produces numerous effects. I do find that it seems more reponsive to guitar than voice, but then I've only been using it for a week. I strongly suggest, however, that your daughter spend more time practicing voice without the unit than with...this toy is tons of fun, but might aid in developing some bad vocal habits. I find I could easily use it as a crutch to aid lazy singing (reverb can make you think you're sounding better than you are). I find that when I use it, I tend to "slide into" my notes, rather than attacking them accurately. But other than that, I have found this little blue Behringer to be an excellent value for the money.

I guess you could mic up using the guitar jack input. You can vary the input level. Do you want to record with it? There aren't a lot of recording features with it but it's brilliant for learning songs, thanks to the slow down feature. I've used that a lot...

I play it through my guitar amp. The chord is damn flimsy so be careful! Sound is good, if you can use a preamp or sound processor with reverb it helps a ton. A direct box should work just fine. It's way easier and sounds better than micing it IMHO.If you push the levels of your PA system you may run into feedback issues. Run a dress rehearsal and find the best spots on stage that don't feedback. Again that chord is very flimsy, one trip and it's game over. Have a backup plan like a microphone just in case.

Hi Veronica,Sorry I didn't respond any earlier.What kind of recordings are you looking to make? This mic has a rich and natural sound to it.I am happy to answer any questions you have.Looking forward to hearing form you.Regards,Samir

I have only run mine through a Behringer PMP 2000 (Europower 800 Watt PA system). The microphone stays true and clean no matter how loud I get; it's sensitive enough to pick up softer tones when used. What you use it for will dictate what size amp to utilize, because the mic itself won't distort or adulterate what it picks up without external interference. If you run it through an 8 watt amplifier and use it for full force growling or screaming (my version of these vocals anyway), the truth to your efforts won't carry as well as perhaps a 100 Watt. You just have to decide how loud you would like to be and purchase accordingly. I have only run mine through a Behringer PMP 2000 (Europower 800 Watt PA system).

I run the blended pickup signal (humbucker and piezo) into an electric amp and it sounds great. The acoustic sound is definitely a "piezo sound" in that it sounds reasonably acoustic-like, but it's not the same as mic'ing a plain old acoustic guitar.I play a mostly clean tone and it works really well for me- if you start kicking in lots of gain or distortion, the piezo pickup can respond in odd ways.

There is an XLR input for the vocal mic, and a 1/4" in put for electric/acoustic guitar.There may be a way to use a transformer, but I wouldn't recommend it.

If you're mic is using an unbalanced 1/4" cable. However most are XLR. I would suggest something from TC Helicon for vocals.

Hey Zach. You definitely need a preamp especially with the SM7B. It's such a quiet mic even compared to 58, 58A. I run mine through a line 6 Toneport UX2 and have to really crank up the preamp. For my money, I'd go with the Focusrite Scarlett 2i4. Actually, just looking at it, I might buy one for the SM7B as a preamp on top of my UX2.

For acoustic concert, this is a terrible camera. iPhone4 has a better sound quality than this. However, I'm wondering if the sound quality would get better with an external microphone. Anybody has had any experience on this?

I would opt for a digital music recorder like a Tascam DR-05. It has direct guitar cable inputs for electric too.

John, This is a great amp for acoustic, and it has a lot of very cool features, including the ability for two inputs. I have used it for acoustic and vocals for practice and small gigs, as well as for acoustic and electric playing with a band. The sound for acoustic (I have a Martinn D35) is great, but less so for electric solid body. It's adequate, but not great. I now use a Fender Champion 100 for my electric and the Fishman for acoustic. BTW, the Fishman beats the heck out of the Fender for acoustic. Hope that helps.

I'd like to combine the previous two replies ... You can use the internal pres and phantom, they sound decent on their own. But if you want more tone shaping options, you can also use an external pre (and/or compressor, etc).

This is not a good amp for a microphone but if needed you could use the acoustic guitar settings for a microphone if the mic has @ 1/4 "jack. if you want an amp that is good for a microphone you are better off going with an amp that has 1/4" jacks as well as xlr input wich is most common with a quality mic. I personally like the acoustic brand amps for my microphones they are designed for an electric acoustic guitar and have xlr inputs and the reverb settings work well with microphones.

I've been using the m-audio fast track pro. Basically , this a good mic used primarily for overhead recording -- drums, pianos. But I've used it on vocals and guitar and it's good but only as good as ur pre amp. If ur interface doesn't have good preamps I would recommend buying an external one if ur serious about getting high fidelity recordings. Hope that helps
