New Mic

[capta1n_beans]

I really need a microphone and have no Idea of what I should look for. I looked at the Snowball ICE but it seems a bit bulky and kinda in the way for streaming (what I want it for). What should I do?

I'd say get a Blue Yeti or AT2020.

You could look at the audio technica ATR 2500.

Up to ONE MILLION DOLLARS   ($100 at most) ish

Definitely a blue snowball, I'm loving mine so much. Great sound if its relatively close, and overall a great value for the money.

 

Pro-tip: take an embroidery hoop and wrap panty hoes around the inner ring and tighten the outer ring to make a super cheap and effective pop filter

I have the yeti and if he thinks the snowball is bulky then the yeti is even worse. It's a great mic but it's one that needs a space of its own. I had to move my tower off my desk and onto the floor because the desk was too crowded with both the tower and mic. (I have a relatively small desk with a dual monitor set up and graphics tablet)

I'd look at getting yourself a boom arm to go along with whatever mic you choose. Positioning it closer to your mouth will be more beneficial for streaming than placement on your desk.
