ok guys, i hope this helps, but A LOT of people keep writing posts on what Mic you should get , and i just read people saying " this or that" without substential prove.

Anyway, i suggest the samson GoMic, its cheap, small and has cool feuteres and a lot in th ebox for the price!

If you interested more, check my channel for a vid that i made on about it. i did it for some people who asked me so i think some of you would be interest in it, as it shows a sound test also :)


What mics do you use?
 
I use the Audio Technica 2500 USB Mic but I am soon going to be upgrading to a new shotgun mic with boom pole xD
 
How would it fare out with recording audio.....like guitar playing, singing all that type of music foshiizzz????

re you asking me? well with the negative 10Db, or 20 , it puts down the mids and lows.. which would come from the guitar or piano. meaning, the mids and lows and highs have a better chance hitting your microphone with the sounds of the instrument :) i a m not a scientist, but it seems to work so far.

Just dont use it onlyyyy for your voice, cause it wont pick up your voice on the high notes.. on the E's and those kind of letters :)[DOUBLEPOST=1385596979,1385596910][/DOUBLEPOST]

i just think samson has beutifull build quality. not overly done like the blue yeti... this is a question for everyone.. but isnt that ball just filled up with air? meaning it just takes up space? :S

The Snowball and Yeti mics are several times bigger than they need to be, yes.
 
I use the Samson GoMic too. When I researched microphones, it was the one recommended to me by a lot of people for my limited budget.

Well, it does to a point. A clip on mic that's only an inch across has a microphone diaphragm that is probably maybe 1/4 inch in size. Most studio mics have a diaphragm that is a bit bigger than the size of a quarter. There are limitations the smaller you get in the amount of sound the mic can accept. Technically you can use a speaker (which is just an inverted microphone) to record, but it will do a poor job as the diaphragm is so big that the amount of sound input required to make it vibrate enough to get a signal is too high.

If you take the cap off the Blue Yeti, the actual mic part looks like this.

Inside will also be the USB circuitry which is small as well as the headphone jack and wires to the gain knob, gain circuitboard, etc. Mostly inside the big hulking shell will be empty space I suspect. There isn't much else that could be inside. ;)
