Best Microphones

[Mosephuss]

So I had a thread about headsets but now it's time for mics. I don't want to go overboard but I do want a high quality mic that will be good enough for doing gameplay's one youtube. Here's a list of all of the mics that I'm looking at. Also remember that I only want to spend a lot if it's worth it.
MXL USB.006

Blue Snowball

Blue snowflake

Logitech Desktop Mic

I also might just get Astro A40's but then that might cut back on me getting a monitor for my PC. My actual build is about performance but the rest is mainly budget (Peripherals). I'm mainly looking at the Siberias but I have a friend with the A40's and he loves them. Also if I get A40's then I would not get a desk mic until I feel desperate for one. Hopefully this might clarify some things but I'm still REALLY stuck one this area. I have an ocd for trying to get the best and switching back and forth from different parts.

I swear I already posted on this thread - damn timeouts....

Anyway, your best luck would probably be with the Blue Snowball. However what is going to make the biggest difference would be a pop filter and if you have acess to it either software or hardware based is a 80 or 100hz roll off. It translates to everything below that frequency being cutoff so LF bumps, spit ect are inaudible. Generally the more you pay on a mic, like most things - the better it's going to pickup, handle and sound.

Just another tip with recording, try to have the mic if possible on another surface other than your desk if possible. If you suddenly bump the desk then you're going to hear it quite clearly in your mic whereas if you have a dresser or something next to you - put it on that and you wont have the problem to the same extent.
Happy hunting
