NEW MICROPHONE

So.....

I ordered this fancy ass USB microphone (Samson CO1U USB Condenser Mic) that goes right into the computer?  Here's the thing....

The GOOD news...is that it's so fucking awesome of a microphone that it picks up literally...

shit from space. 

I'm not kidding. 

I'm hearing stuff on here that...

I can't even remotely hear with my ears...

and ask anyone who's ever dated me or lived with me...

i have sonar hearing. I can hear a kid crying three buildings away. 

So...for this microphone to be picking up stuff I can't hear? 

That. 

Is. 

A. 

Mazing.

Now the BAD news....is that it's so fucking awesome of a microphone that it picks up literally...

SHIT FROM SPACE!!!!!

I am going out of my MIND with this thing.

It's making me CRAZY.

And, noo... 

i am NOT going to tell you all the things specifically that are making me crazy with it because chances are I'm just being incredibly over sensitive to it...

and if i tell you...

and then you listen to the CD....

you will automatically be over sensitive to it too...

which you probably wouldn't have been if i hadn't called your attention to it....

and then that's not gonna be good for anyone.

I've tried using my crappier microphone-

which is 'cleaner' but....very hollow sounding.

i'm finding i like it for the instruments but...not for the vocals.

I even accidentally thought I had my mike plugged in and recorded just via the computer's microphone. Again, some things i liked about it...some things definitely not. So...the USB mike is the way to go...i just HAVE to figure a way around some issues with it.

My awesome sound mix master extraordinaire Jay Atwood (www.jayatwood.com) has sent me many suggestions such as covering my computer, unplugging my fridge, putting comforters up on the windows, maybe even going into a closet, etc, etc, etc....

personally i prefer rocking back and forth in a fetal position.

But ya know, that's me.

cause i'm a professional.

I even sent him a MICROPHONE PEPSI CHALLENGE-

where I recorded on both mikes-

and he tewtally called which was the better microphone so....

i'm just being retarded, basically.

I think i may have finally found somewhat of a solution, however...

the bathroom.

Nice ring, small space, can buffer stuff with towels (handily, already in there), complete with door. Here. Please to enjoy the finest things that a budget of a piece of straw and a used napkin can bring:

So.

I have a work station in the main part of my studio...

and now i have a station in the bathroom.

At least one part of where i work is actually called a studio.

bless.
