Microphones

I always record with a headset mic. I used to use a Turtle Beach px12 or somethiong like that and it worked really nicely , now I am using the microphone from my Razor Kraken Pro.

Just as a general observation: although headset mics can suffice, they're really, really not what anyone would call an optimal setup. Even budget USB mics are gonna be what you'll want over that.

I use the AT 2500 and i couldn't be happier. Excellent mic imo.

Testing out the AKG C214 as well. It's got a really "airy" sound, but I'm not sure if I'll rank it above the Blue Baby Bottle.

Forgive me for this but I did a head to head of the Blue Baby Bottle and the Neumann TLM 102.

I'm not sure it's really a fair head to head.

Rode NT-USB

pretty good mic in my opinion..

Blue snowball is a pretty safe and cheap first mic. It does everything you need and it's fairly easy to use!

I reccomend the Blue Nesi or Blue Spark if your rich and wanna be a pewdiepie

My first and current mic is the Samsung Meteor. If anything it's a mic that taught me that the mic is not the only thing that matters. Your environment and post processing helps a lot (although I am still very new to microphones and equalising) One day I'll upgrade when I can afford it. I also literally have a stocking pulled over my microphone as the pop filter. And it's quite a cheap (relatively) option. Unfortunately I have never had another mic so can't make any other comments!
