Compared to cheaper and smaller boom arms (which are typically included in generic microphone kits on Amazon and should be avoided with larger microphones like this), this has a higher build quality with plenty of length and articulation to get your mic in the right place. From a podcasting perspective, one feature of the Session software we appreciated is the ability to quickly apply common vocal effects such as compression and chorus to a recording by simply selecting the desired effect preset from the track's drop-down menu.I've been using and testing the Limelight with their 512-BBA adjustable microphone boom arm which supports payloads up to 3 lbs and is available as a separate purchase for $79.99. Musicians, however, will prefer Sessions' built-in library of preset instruments and audio loops that allow songs to be constructed with a paint-by-numbers simplicity reminiscent of Apple's Mac-only Garage Band. Users looking for a quick way to knock out podcast recordings might have an easier time in a no-frills application like Audacity. Session is more of a music composition tool than a basic multitrack audio-editing program. The benefit of monitoring your recording through the Producer microphone, rather than listening through your computer's headphone jack, is the low-latency technology used by M-Audio to prevent the annoying audio delays commonly found in consumer audio cards.Īlong with the microphone, the Session Music Producer package also comes with an installation disc for their PC-only Session recording software (Mac users are encouraged to use Garage Band). Because your computer recognizes the USB-connected Producer microphone as both an audio input and output, you can use the microphone's headphone jack to monitor your recording directly. The second distinguishing feature on M-Audio's Producer microphone is a built-in headphone jack located on the front. Luckily, the USB hardware built into the Producer microphone is both Mac and PC compatible, so at least you don't have to worry about a computer upgrade making your microphone obsolete. The downside is that if you ever end up upgrading to a more conventional recording studio, you will not be able to plug the Producer microphone into an analog mixing desk or microphone preamp. The benefit of the Producer's single USB connection is that it makes operating and connecting the microphone dead-simple.
First off, the Producer works strictly over USB.
Two things distinguish the Producer microphone from more conventional condenser microphones.
