Microphone.... :)

[Redjo]

Hello today i plan on ordering my parts, but its a good idea i guess to buy microphone as well because i dont have any. Can you recommend something? Good quality out of the box.... 

 

• I know that almost everyone uses AT2020 or Blue Yeti.

 

• I want microphone for everyday usage, youtube and sometimes to sing on it, but just amateur singing. I never had any better microphone than 10/20$ ones and they were terrible, so now its time for something good with new PC. 

 

• I am also using mechanical keyboard so for example when talking with friends on TS or Skype or singing it will be nice if the microphone reduces the background noise to the maximum and i dont want want such things like 'Whoooooooshhh; Sploooshhh' in the background, if you know what i mean. Just crystal clear voice if possible like in Youtube singing videos.

 

Example videos: Well i know its probably pro equipment but just look how clear the voice is, can i get close to that at everyday usage with something around 100Euro or +/- 30/40/50

Blue Yeti

you answered your own question

[Dr_Pleeper]

Blue Yeti?

[Aytex]

If you already know that everyone uses AT202 or yeti, why not get one of those?

Well yeti or the 2020 is about the best for your budget...

The blue yeti is popular with good reason.

Audio-Technica AT2020 - USB is 160Euro // XLR is 105/115Euro 

Blue Microphones Yeti black - USB 140Euro 

 

What is XLR and why it is cheaper?

This is XLR

 

I would go for USB

 

Go for the yeti in general

[Samfisher]

The AT2020 is slightly better.  I've had both and the AT2020 is massively lighter and smaller and can fit in any standard accessory like a shock mount or mic stand without needing counter weights.  Both mics will pick up everything, you aren't gonna be isolating noise with these babies.

I have a yeti, dont like it much (although it does sound good)

 

Id get a rode podcaster or rode procaster

[AstroBenny]

Rode NT-USB is also great, as reviewed by Linus here:

XLR if you want to be able to controll a lot more things about your sound, but you will need a mixer for that.

USB if you want plug and play

Did anyone actually read OPs post? You are all recommending microphones that will pick up keyboard and background noises super loud.
You want a Super Cardioid or a Dynamic microphone:

• Q1U
• ATR2100

Probably the most important factor, regardless of the microphone you choose, is your environment, and how you position your microphone to deal with such. All of the microphones mentioned thus far are going to pick up a fair amount of background noise. It's up to you to find the optimal position to alleviate such. Whether this means getting a proper mount, or situating your desk differently, it's going to be a matter of trial and error. If you're not willing to put in the effort (which undoubtedly will be required), stick with a solution that's closer to your mouth for gaming/voip. For singing and the like, you're going to want better equipment. However, as mentioned, you get what you put in.
