...A NEW SPANKIN' MICROPHONE!

As I talk about in my blog I have acquired a new microphone: a Blue Snowball condenser USB mic. It really is a wonderful piece of equipment so far and will come in very useful for recording during production of the podcast.

Fantastic

Iscin, very pleased indeed

Let me know how you like that. I've been considering either that or possibly the Blue Eyeball. For now I have a headset that gives me pretty good results, but always looking for better.

That does look pretty nifty! Hope you enjoy it ^,=,^

It was an investment so all the listeners to the podcast will benefit =^.=.^=

I should -really- get around to getting a decent Mic >.>

You have probably know all of this already but still take a look:

I'd need an adaptor before picking up a condensor mic... Unless they're making these things USB-compatible now.
Couldn't be too terribly difficult, seeing how they're making USB-to-XLR adaptors with 48v phantom power for about $60 these days.

Otherwise, I think that Roland's EDIROL series has a USB-powered XLR/48v adaptor...

The best investment I've made, to date, has been the UA1-EX. $60 for the simplest and most effective 2/02 mixer utility I've ever used or even seen, probably every bit as good as the considerably more expensive M-Audio two-channel box.
