Hi!

 

I've been reading reviews, watching videos and done a lot of research on so many mics but still cannot come to a proper standstill conclusion on which mic will best suit my needs.

 

I will use this mic to: (In no particular order) Record gaming videos (UTube), Make Music Videos and Films (On quite a small scale, nothing too much here), The usual streaming, chatting, skyping, I do a lot of interviews.

 

Budget: [MAX] 100-120 $

 

For recording videos wih voice-overs, I think the Blue Snowball or Yeti is the choice.

But what about on the move? Zoom H1 seems pretty convincing....

Films? Not sure?

Lots of good mics from Rode (Pricey), Audio-Technica(Quite Nice)

 

I need help to make the right decision.

 

Also I am a vocalist, and might buy another analog mic for those uses, (Mic that plugs into a Pro Mixer, like at studios, as i do that a lot). Or if posssible This Mic might fit those needs, if not then not a problem.

 

......

Thanks,

Blaze

Please stick to your first topic. We may not get to it immediately, but we will get to it. And don't tell me it was by accident or some crap like that, since this one has a totally different title than your first topic.

i would say blue snowball!

 

That is a great option, but as i said before, it doesn't meet all of my needs, but is definatly on my list

If you do interviews just get the ZOOM. Can zoom be used as a mic for pc though?

It can be used for PC via USB port on the Mic, This one is also great

 

I will use this mic to: (In no particular order) Record gaming videos (UTube), Make Music Videos and Films (On quite a small scale, nothing too much here), The usual streaming, chatting, skyping, I do a lot of interviews.

 

I will quote once again, These mics do meet the Youtube recording, and interview part of my needs but what about the fiilming music vids and videos part?

 

The modmic 4 is also on my list.

 

Still not sure..........

Alright I might go for the Yeti or the Zoom H1 or (Yet to decide)    Can these mics be fitted to a stand and be used for films (Personal projects)???

 

The snowball was my original choice, when i Only considered Youtube, but I also realized i Do a lot of interviews,  and most of them are on the move and can't be had on a table.

 

So im still quite unsure
