Which Mic Is Right for Ableton Move? Built-In vs. External

[@SanchezOKelly]

Was the gaming headset a trs or ts connector? May be part of the problem if it’s the wrong jack type.

[@pushpatterns]

It was this one - www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0D3DDK5VM?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

[@SanchezOKelly]

Theoretically shouldn’t have had a problem. The documentation for the move claims the microphone input is stereo. That has a trs connector. Unless gaming headsets wire that differently. Ill have to try mine.

Ah, the perennial problem of using a mic with portable gear like this - The best results I’ve had have been from some kind of condenser mic that takes battery power. I use a AKG C1000s. You’ll need some kind of XLR to 3.5mm converter of course.

[@JamesLevine-p6l]

beat me to it. Yeah, I'd say stick with a mic that has battery power. I've got the AT822 (stereo) and a vintage Nakamichi (modular capsule). Or just do your field recording away from the device and upload them at move.local No gooseneck or lav mic is going to work. I mean, if you have a wireless pack, the output from the receiver would be mic/no phantom. You could deploy your field recording that way...

[@pushpatterns]

@@JamesLevine-p6l Have you guys tried the Irig I used in the video?

[@JamesLevine-p6l]

@@pushpatterns trig==trick? You mean using the irig preamp? No I haven't. I do have some things like that, now that you mention it. Many wireless systems don't offer phantom power, so I do have an apparatus like this. But likely I'd stay with either the stereo mic that I have or any mic that doesn't require more parts to carry around. Let me know if that's what you asked :)

[@pushpatterns]

​@@JamesLevine-p6l I'm using the iRig preamp in the video. It offers phantom power and direct monitoring. It runs on a couple of batteries, making it super portable.

[@JamesLevine-p6l]

@@pushpatterns oooo. now direct monitoring is a great enhancement. That would pair well with Push 3, seeing as monitoring on there is only after the A-D conversion...If you have the mics that you want to use already, it's a good solution

[@lydkunst]

Portable? The different Zoom mics might work. My H5 has line out and headphone out and several different mics available and windshields

[@pushpatterns]

That's a fantastic idea! The Zoom microphones could work well!

[@claytonchipper3874]

Yes I’ve done this and it works well

[@pushpatterns]

@@claytonchipper3874 Great!

[@lydkunst]

@@claytonchipper3874 Ok Cool ..Maybe when I buy Move ( I`m not sure if I need it yet ) I will use my hole Zoom collection ,Thank You for trying it out
