Ok here is the deal. I am looking for an inexpensive microphone, manly for beatboxing, that you can plug directly into the computer (without an amp/mixer) I have an integrated sound card. So what kind of mic would work for decent quality?

Would something like this basically do?

I dunno if they are the same, but:

Thanks for any help.

You just proved your stupidity.


Audio Technica makes very good budget mikes. Since for BeatBoxing, you are holding the mike very close to your face, the 58 for over 2x the cost will not outperform the audio technica mike. There is nothing wrong with that $50 mike for beatboxing. However, if you are doing live vocals, you will NOT use the Technica.

you seem like a really nice guy

And you seem like a fucktard. I proved my point, you did not. I rule.

To the original poster: Use the cheap mike for beatboxing. If it sounds decent, and you like the price, get it.

good job man you're the coolest person alive because you cut people down and are too big headed to accept the idea that maybe... just maybe someone else is right. Calling people names makes you sound 12 so unless that's how old you are, act your age.

Good job man! You're the coolest person alive because you cut people down. You are too big-headed to accept the idea that maybe someone else is right. Calling people names makes you sound like a twelve year-old, so unless that's how old you are act your age.

Infantile spelling and grammar is a far better way to prove your hebetudinousness. (EDIT: Xomdumbassi, You looked up the word, didn't you? )

In your own words, "Prove your point or I call bullshit.".


EDIT: To the original poster, If you like the sound of a budget mike, use it!

come on man, all you're doing is making yourself look more like an ass, and all you can do is make fun of my username and grammar? You really are 12

OH NOES THE GRAMZOR NAZIS!!!

good job on looking up hebetudinousness on dictionary.com btw i could have never thought of that

Seriously man, just shut up i believe the saying goes "you're kickin a dead horse"

This is turning into bull-shit, very off topic, so I'm closing the thread, share each others phone numbers in Private Messages and arrange a fight.

Do not do it on the boards.

Thank you.
