Title: USB Microphones
Post by: Deadstar on December 20, 2006, 09:03:44 PM

Are they any good? A friend of mine has a small company dealing with multiple areas of gaming and is currently under the process of creating a revision like game for young students with funding from a larger company to go towards production.

He asked me knowing I study music technology at university but as I've never used them I didn't want to give a definite answer. I will however be recording the voice overs and music for him with my own selection of mics but he still needs one for future reference/use. From what I've found does anyone know if these are good?

Hopefully, I shall also be setting up and heading a new sub-division of this company dealing with music and sound effects for the games and upcoming websites, so good news for me too  :D  :D  :D  more news watch this space.

I've heard very good things about the Rode Podcaster! Rode are one of the best mics out there.

actually correction its  a samson CO1U and it has a slightly better tonal range than the shure sm57 and just plugs straigh into your USB socket no need for expensive sound cards or mixers
