the samson C01U is a great little mic for the price. i use the non-usb
version for extra condensers when i need more than my main one, but we got a
usb version at the school i work at and they love it. getting a usb mic
means you don't have to worry about preamps/sound card quality etc, but it
does mean you are limited in what you can do with it elsewhere (unless it
has the option for both usb and normal outputs, which the samson at least
does not).

ps. unfortunately mics are one of the mos difficult things to get 'right'.
everyone has different opinions, and everyone's voice works better with
different mics. i have a friend who we had to record through a shure sm58
rather than the $1500 mic i usually use, because her voice just didn't sound
quite right with it. the shure worked perfectly though :)

Hi group,
Looking for a good mic for a voice app. Currently using a cheap $10
Radio
shack cassette mic, Model: 33-3019. The volume
is very low on both
windozes
and Linux.
I wondering if the Model: HG-M73 or their Model: AVL516 would be
better?
Any suggestion? Other sources? Experiences?
You might look into some of the
new products that combine a good quality
studio vocal mic, mic preamp, and a/d interface all in one product.
Consult your favorite search engine for 'USB Microphone'. Samson, Rode,
and Blue are three manufacturers that showed up for me.
...of course, then the search begins for working Linux drivers...
