I Need to Buy a Mic.....

[TheAverageGoon]

What up fellas. So ya boy needs a new microphone. Even though I have a decent amount of money to spend I would still like to keep it relatively cheap as I am only a highschool student. The mic will mostly be used for making commentaries and life stories. However, a couple of my friends and I have been writing some music recently so it'd be nice if we could record some vocals with it as well. I'd like to keep it around the $100-$150 range. But I guess if i really had too I'd go up higher if needed and if there's something for less than $100 that would do the job that would be great.

p.s I don't know much about mics so please use mic-dummy language

Best Mic That I Know Is The Blue Yeti But If You Want A Cheaper Mic You Can Buy A Blue Snowball Ice. That Should Do Your Job. You Can Find Them On Amazon.

Hello,

I'd recommend the Blue Yeti from Amazon, or possibly a used one that's in very good condition, most of the time, they're left on a desk, and most have a cover that blocks any germs from getting into the mic from the mouth.

But if you can, get a brand new one from amazon.

Best Of Luck!

Also, if you are going to be recording on the go audio (stories at school, or walking home, or vocals at a friend's house) consider the Zoom H1. It's about the same price of the Blue Yeti and they sell it at most places that sell voice recorders in the US (i.e. Best Buy, Staples, Office Depot). Also, since you're going to high school, you can use it for recording class audio now and in college (if that's your thing). It runs on 2 AA batteries and uses an SD card for storage. The microphone itself records audio in 360 degrees /this is important/ (the Blue Yeti can as well, but it can switch to other settings such as 1 on 1 or just 1 person) and it's a very sensitive mic so if you prefer this portable option, I /highly/ suggest muffling it with either thick socks (cheap route) or the fluffy cover that they sell for it (more expensive but no one will look at your funny and wonder if the socks are clean).

I have both and they both have their advantages, the ZOOM H1 is portable /obviously/, Both can stand on their own but Blue Yeti has a anti-slip stand, ZOOM H1 has faster play back because it records directly to the mic, and obviously the Blue Yeti records directly to a computer.

In any case Good luck!

Anything from Blue Yeti. I personal used the Snowball but I heard good things about the Blue Yeti

Blue Yeti Is Like A Starter Mic, It Is Good, But You here the quality in it once you used a different one.

[Sirlarge]

Nessie blue standing mics are good and have a switch for audio filtering on the back.

 

[StealthyAce]

Blue Yeti!
I have the snowball and it sucks lol, but get the Yeti or maybe the audio technica AT2020 (I think that is what its called)

 

[That Awkward Giraffe]

I enjoy the blue snowball, but for most of the time I use my headset mic.
