AMAZING MIC!

Reviewed by Kayvon Malek on Guitar Center

This mic is EXCELLENT. It's easy to use and because it's a USB mic, it doesn't require an audio interface. I've had this mic for about two days now, and I can't stop recording it's so great. You can even use this mic for instruments. It can handle my metal high gain electric guitar stuff with ease. First time I've ever walked out of guitar center and had a product go beyond my expectations.

Yes, save your money for a better microphone. I didn't want to go the route of purchasing a recording interface so I just bought this mic. The output levels are terribly low. There is a constant hiss during any sort of recording whether vocal or acoustic. Its great if all you want to do is lay down an idea before you forget it but as far as recording is concerned, save you money and buy the right thing. Don't take the short cut like I did.

Perfect for home use/studio, good sound

I am a small electronic producer and just am recording a variety of instruments and vocals through the snow ball. It has great sound quality, I dont have an interface so i do not have phantom power for condeser mics, but the snowball is AMAZING for a USB mic. Its very easy to use, and its nice it has 3 settings.

Great for the price.

It works great for recording drums on a budget, takes voice wonderfully, as well as guitar and bass. I'm most pleased, great for making demos on garage band or another program.

ok, grantite, i havent had experience with any other microphone, but this one has absoultly amazing quality for voice, guitar, bass, piano, even drums!! for guitar and bass, all you have to do is place the mic in front of the amp and turn the setting on the back of the mic to "2". and i did the same for drums when i placed my mic and computer on a table near my drumset and still had amazing quality! TOTALLY WORTH IT!!

picks up to much background noise

I bought this mic a while back and i found it to be excellent. They said it wouldn't work with Vista.... it did. They said it has a lag, it doesn't the only reason I'm even going to consider a new mic is because I cant seem to get it to work with pro tools on my mac. I love this mic.

Great

My friend bought one of these "mics" without consulting anybody in the business. Good luck getting it to work with any software you or your friends may use to record with. After purchasing Cubase (a widely used program by many, many people) my friend discovered this mic to be virtually useless. Also, remember this - The mic can only go as far from the computer as the length of your USB cable. Extremely Limmited Product

I would like to agree with all the good reviews but when i got my snowball and plugged it in 10 mins after i got it there was a really bad static sound on the recording no matter what i did it overpowered what i was trying to record (guitar). I was very dissapointed with this product.
