Usb Mic Vs Interface
When sourcing your media equipment, choosing a microphone is an important decision. A good microphone records clean audio, and clear recordings take less time to edit and transcribe. Investing in the right type of microphone from the start saves both money and time in the long run. Whether you’re building your studio from scratch or looking to update your equipment, these are the top rated microphones with USB and XLR connections.
May 10, 2019 - USB Mics are portable and work on PC, Mac, iPad. Components (a quality microphone and an audio interface with input for a microphone). But will produce a poor quality recording compared to buying a USB microphone. A USB mic plugs directly into the computer, you may need to install a driver but that´s it, connect and record. The down side is, that you can only record a single track at a time. XLR Mics have to be connected to an Audio Interface which has to be connected to the PC via USB or Fire-Wire.
Blue Yeti Vs Audio Interface
Hi!I want to start doing some home recordings, I use to record vocals and ukulele on a 5$ radio shack mic. But I recently upgraded to a Yeti(not pro) (usb mic). Now I am about to upgrade my uke, with choice of a K&K soundboard transducer or a B-Band Undersaddle pickup with preamp. I would like to start recording vocals and instruments on separate tracks.
So i was thinking, maybe i need me an audio interface. But It doesnt look like i can find any that take a usb mic. Also hoping one day to get a midi controller keyboard thing, someday.my questions:what am I better off with in regards to the pickup on the uke?Do you know of any audio interfaces that take usb mics?I'm running ubuntu mostly but can access windows easly.Thanks!! I wouldn't buy that uke without trying it out. Go to Guitar Center, they usually have some in stock./QOUTENor would I, defenitly try before you buy as tuning is always an issue with ukes.the pick up might be ok to use as a blend in the mix.

Depends on the qaulity of the sound.Lots of threads here about audio interfaces, lots of choices for under $200. M Audio Fast Track Pro, Focusrite Saffire 6. Tascam US600two tracks would be fine for tracking the uke, then you could do a nice mid/side recording. And make it really wide stereo image.If you want a great value mic, great qaulity to check out Naiant studios.Home recordings Mr H is the owner and will be happy to help you make the right choice.I have one of his mics and they're really great (not affiliated).
