But I would rather have a quality microphone and not need to upgrade again later. I don't have a ton of background, so I think I could get away with a condenser. Then there's this gooseneck microphone that has surprisingly stunning reviews (though only 11), and one reviewer who says they specifically use it for Youtube. Others start climbing in price to the point that I might as well go with the above.Īs far as condensers, this microphone seems to be really popular, has great reviews, and costs $22. I've found a few dynamic usb mics on amazon under $30, but the reviews on them say they record really quiet or have a hum or other interference. The microphone itself + usb cord to plug into the computer + desktop stand + wind screen will cost $42.50. This microphone was recommended a while back, and it has good reviews. I've been told a dynamic mic is better than a condenser. But if you want some info on what I'm looking at, read on. If you want to stop reading right here, you can. I've realized they hurt my ears, and that's just not viable for recording sessions for me. I'd rather not throw away another $60, but I still want to upgrade my mic.ĭo you use a USB mic? Do you like it? How is the quality? Please don't recommend a headset. Even though it shows a significant difference in reducing background noise, I don't use it. My other issue is has nothing as far as eliminating background noise.Ī while back, I purchased a $60 logitech headset and my voice sounds terrible on it. I have to boost it in audio editing, and even then I'd like to be able to boost it more but can't because then the quality starts to degrade. The problems I have with it is it doesn't record my voice very loud. It actually sounds really great quality wise, which I know is very unusual. Right now, I'm using the built-in microphone on my computer. I want to upgrade to a better quality microphone.
