  2. You can get battery powered condenser mica but you wouldn't want to be swapping over battery's all the time, If your XLR converter has phantom power I see a lot of people using se2200a mice in a computer setup but they are a little out of the price range you are looking in. USB condenser mics as ShearMe said are perfect for one mic home set ups
  3. I'm looking for some good over-ear headphones. They're for professional studio and live sound work, Need to have a good closed design preferably (So I can hear them in a very loud environment). Flat(ish) response preferable for mixing. £140 Budget (Approx $200USD) Any idea's? Example: http://en-uk.sennheiser.com/professional-dj-headphones-noise-cancelling-hd-280-pro
  4. Always worth spending the money for external audio/midi interfaces. Look at Focusrite gear its all really good stuff and used from iPad interfaces all the way up to world famous studios. A basic one will give you multiple outputs for speakers with software to configure them to quickly switch and headphone outputs with dedicated volume controls. (this doubles as a ADC/DAC) They also have really good quality pre amps meaning if you ever get a vocalist in to record some loops or anything like that you already have the gear for it. Monitors are also a great option, KRK's are good but have an "unrealistic" bass response meaning although your mix may sound great through them when you take it anywhere else it may not have the low end that you had when you mixed it. Look into the new or previous generation Tannoy Reveal series for $200-$300 you can get a really nice pair of monitors. Another thing worth looking into is where you position yourself in a room to mix if you are using speakers, things sound very different if you are right up against a wall and extremely different if you are sat in a corner. You can have the best equipment imaginable but if you don't set it up in the right way you could be wasting your money!
  5. Generally for you want a low Impedance for things such as phone and ipod/mp3 player outputs and some laptops as well, Higher impedances are used much more in professional audio solutions (like recording studios) where at any moment there could be a load bang from someone unplugging a microphone without warning or a clumsy sound engineer sends an extremely high signal to the headphones by mistake. Other than volume there will be almost no differences in audio quality so it just depends on what you will be using them for.
  6. Perhaps turning down the volume of your game or other programs you are capturing audio from and then boosting the audio as a whole afterwards giving your mic a higher average level.
