Thanks so much for posting this interesting conversation. I stopped at the point where Mary recommended the Blue Snowball microphone and went online to do a little research (I’m in the market for a microphone). Four hours later, I’m done, and I know a lot more about microphones than when I woke up this morning. MacWorld has a very nice little buying guide for some of the USB mics that currently compete with the Blue Snowball here , and the nice thing is that audio samples are available for comparison. For my ears, both the Marshall MXL.006 US and the Samson G-Track sound richer than the Snowball, and they are all the the same price ballpark.
Hi Neil, I think used that same MacWorld guide when I was looking for a microphone myself last year
I ended up going with the H2 Zoom recorder/microphone. It may not be as high performing as some the other mics you looked at, but it worked best for me and killed a few birds with one stone.
Thanks for listening!
