Regards, Jon Mandolin » Advice on buying a good microphone or pickup for home recording a mandolin on a computer » Go to message Hi, After talking to a guy from my local Dawson music shop I went for a Samson C01U USB Studio Condenser mic. It works fine with the Audacity recording software I use on my Linux system. I can import the learning tracks from the college and then record my own Mandolin track. It is an excellent way of getting the timing of a song. Many thanks for your feedback. \ jon Mandolin » Advice on buying a good microphone or pickup for home recording a mandolin on a computer » Go to message Hi, Can anybody give me some advice on buying a mic or mandolin pickup for home recording? I've narrowed it down to either the L.R. Baggs Radius-M or a Sony ECM stereo microphone. Basically, I just want to lay down my own mandolin track to accompany the college lessons as practice before playing with real musicians.
