Thanks to its switchable cardioid and omni polar patterns, you can pick whichever pattern is more appropriate for your specific situation. Use the tightly focused cardioid pickup pattern when recording a podcast, acoustic guitar or vocals. Or use the omnidirectional pattern to capture the entire room, whether you’re jamming with your band, webcasting with a group or conducting an online meeting with multiple members in a single location. Plus, with a frequency response of 20Hz – 18kHz and a resolution of 16-bit/44.1kHz, you can be sure you’re getting professional audio specs in a compact, multi-purpose design.

Podcasting Perfection

Go Mic can help you wow your listeners and set yourself apart in a crowded podcasting community.

If you’re a frequent online communicator, Go Mic provides an easy, inexpensive solution to enhance the quality of your communication. Whether your preferred method of interaction is Skype, iChat or VoIP, Go Mic can introduce a level of clarity you didn’t think was available. On the road for work? Make sure you can hear about your family’s day like they’re right there in the room with you. Online meeting with potential clients? Ensure every crucial word of your proposal is articulated with the in-person enthusiasm you’re looking for. With Go Mic, you can make any online interaction clearer and more personal.

Multimedia Magic
For multimedia enthusiasts, Go Mic brings impeccable quality to your voiceover work. If your adding narration to a video, Go Mic can ensure your words create the impact you’re looking for. There’s no reason to lose the power of your voiceover due to poor audio quality. Make sure your audio sounds as good as your video looks with Go Mic.

Musical Maestro
Whether you’re a singer/songwriter recording vocals and acoustic guitar, or a band looking to capture the room sound of a jam right on your computer, Go Mic will make sure you don’t miss a note. Use the cardioid mode to capture vocals or close-mic an instrument. Or get the sound of a full band by flipping to omnidirectional mode, ensuring sound is recorded from all directions of the room. Whatever the application, Go Mic can help you take your music to the next level.

Go Mic is perfect for anyone who wants to make great recordings on a computer. And no matter where you go to record, Go Mic goes with you.

Web Design: How would I create something that would allow a user to select multiple options then give a price?

How would I create something that would allow a user to select multiple options then give a total price? I’m not that great with JavaScript so everything I’ve tried hasn’t really worked out.

I’m creating a website that will be used to sell custom designed products. It will have multiple options for the final item available to choose from and it has to output the final price. Each option would add to the price. I wanted the options to be pictures as well.

I haven’t really gotten a definite layout. Here’s something I just threw together. It’ll kind of be something like this, at least the options part will. http://www.daltondayton.com/options/index.html

I need to be able to click on the options and have it add to the total price. For example, the total would start out as $0 then if I clicked on option one it would add $50 to the total price.

Thanks in advance,
Dalton

Custom and Involved Web Design?

I want a website created where people can comment and rate stories and art similar to how we view videos on YouTube. I also want extensive forums on the website and a page for uploading videos for news updates. Can you tech savy people tell me where to go and how much I should be paying for that kind of web design? I also need users to have their own profile page and avatars.

That sounds like a great, unique site idea and adding a community will definitely keep people coming back. It sounds like you will have a lot going on though, so I really think you should hire a professional.

Personally, I would recommend JT Images, you can check out their site here: http://www.jtimages.com/
They can design a fantastic, professional looking site for you with all kind of features including e-commerce and set you up with a domain name. They will also use their SEO skills to help you rank on google and protect you from spam and viruses with their email filtering program. They can even get you started with a marketing campaign to expand and increase your business.
No harm in checking them out either, they do free quotes :)

Speck Products FitFolio Case for iPad 2 in Vegan Leather (SPK-A0280)
Product DescriptionThe FitFolio ultra-slim case for iPad 2 has a sleek, padded design that keeps your device protected yet light on it’s feet. The custom cradle with soft-touch matte finish holds your iPad 2 securely in place, and the cover folds back into a stand-making this the perfect iPad 2 case for reading, working, viewing, presentations and lots more! Founded in 2001, (with cases for the original iPod and the iSport, an iPod fanny pack with blinking lights) Speck has grown to become a worldwide leader in cases and bags for iPhone, MacBook, BlackBerry, iPad and tons of other personal electronic devices. But they’re not a monolithic corporate entity: they’re gadget geeks. Speck makes the sort of fun, functional, stylish cases that they’d want protecting their own gear-or, for that matter, their kids’ and grandparents’ gear. From concept to design to finished product, Speck puts their hearts, smarts, and guts into everything they do. Their downtown Palo Alto, California headquarters is often messy, always bustling, and filled with a crew of dedicated (dare we say obsessed) folks who really know their stuff. About a quarter of the company is in the product development group, and 100% of their products are designed and quality-tested in-house.
