Best/cheap mic for podcasting

Post by snipelfritz »

I need to share my gift of me with the world. What's a good mic for recording speaking vocals? Halp me.

Also, I'm poor, so affordable is something to be kept in mind.

Do you have any mics right now? I’d think like a used sm 57 or 58 would work nicely

Honestly like a $20 from GC might do it as long as you have the interface to hook it up to your computer

This one should be fine https://www.amazon.com/Samson-Mic-Porta ... B001R76D42

I could borrow same one from a friend and test it with some babbling if you want
Ring modulator. Drone generator.

Just about anything will work, but I recently had to compare a bunch of USB mics for a work thing, and the Samson C01U was surprisingly good and inexpensive.

Stop trying to steal my thunder. :)

I'm not doing the Podcast thing because I can't figure it out and am too lazy to investigate it. I am doing a Vlog instead. Same thing to me. Just minimize the shit if you don't want to look at me. I'm using my cellphone because fuck it. I know I could go all pro and spend money but it honestly isn't worth it. I have a Shure mic that hooks to my iPhone. I don't even use it. lol
