Just wanted to post a quick review of the SnowBall microphone by Blue. You can find them on Amazon or Newegg if you’re interested. Â Right now it’s cheaper at Amazon.
It’s a USB mic so you’ll need a PC of some kind to use it and you won’t be able to feed the input through a mixer or anything like that.
Previously I was using the mic on a Logitech Pro 9000 webcam as my mic. If you’ve listened to the podcast you can tell the quality isn’t all that and that’s after extensive cleanup and tweaking.
I think you’ll find the next podcast release to be significantly better in quality with everyone audible and without overload. Probably doesn’t hurt that I parked the mic in front of me on the gaming table and put Temple at the far end of the table.
I’m not an audiophile, I don’t really know cardioid patterns or impedance or pickup sensitivity. I do know that the recording with this mic is very acceptable to me and although I cringe at the price, its worth it IMO.
