Her's a pic.

How much did you get it for??

109.00 EUR
155.467 USD

That's soo expensive!!!

I bought mine 98.00 EUROS without shipping cost.
Here it is :

Spoiler:

Did you get it with the shockmount?

That's not bad, and you're happy with the performance of the microphone as well?

Yes :p

But you have to sing in a "quiet" place because the mic records ALL the sounds....

I have some problems because I have too much record XDD
But i like it ! it's great. I could send you a RAW record if you want. But there's already some example on the THOMANN website.

There seems like a lot of users here on YTC which have that problem with the microphone recording random noises from everywhere. I'll write up a tutorial soon when I have time to help you fix those problems

Oh yeah, Just recently got myself a Samson Q1U Dynamic Microphone. It does great even in noisy locations here~

pretty okay quality~

Condenser mics all have this problem =w=)b

But I can solve the problem with a mixing program,

Using a headset (I don't even know the brand) at the moment and it hates me. It has the fuzzy background noise that I have to edit out manually. Need new mic ;_;

Wel, then this is for you people.

*can't believe i just found this now*

I used to use a logitech webcam (i forgot the qualities and model # ><)

but i bought a new one a few days ago. It's Logitech HD webcam c270

skype certified!~ 8D

I use a Shure PG27USB. Good quality but still my voice sucks...

Right now I'm using a desktop mic I bought in japan for about S$30? Can't remember. It does sounds a little muffy but, it'll do.

Anyone reco a mic that is less than US$70? Feel like getting a better mic LOL!!!

*looking through the thread to find a good quality, cheap-ish condenser microphone*
/shot
It's not gonna be easy.
BUT I DON'T WANNA WASTE MY PARENT'S MONEEEYY. ;~; ♥
*sigh*
*searches*

EDIT~
In the end, I found this one cuute~
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Samson-GO-Mic-Portable-USB-Microphone-/280695878783?pt=UK_Consumer_Professional_RL&hash=item415ac7347f
It's so small.. AND CUUUTE. And it's a condenser microphone. You can carry it around easily too. Uwaaa. ♥ I hope it's good!! >w<♥

Audio Technica ATR1200. Simple stuff but works good enough for me. (for now) hahaha xD

I have a Samson C01u owo" it's awesome

I currently have a Sennheiser e845s connected to a Roland Tri-Capture Audio Interface. I am giving up on my old Lexicon Omega audio interface for the reason that it isn't USB-powered, meaning that I have to waste one of my power sockets.
I couldn't use that interface for live music + vocal mixing during online streaming.
So far, I've only used this new setup on my BadBye dub.







This is a pretty pricey setup though...
I wouldn't suggest you go for the dynamic mic + audio interface setup unless you're really serious enough about your vocal work, enough to spend more than US$300 to get a really high-quality recording.
(The only reason I have this setup is because my parents bought me a home desktop recording set from Lexicon which included an audio interface and a dynamic mic. A few months later, I wanted a better mic and didn't want to waste my audio interface so I bought the Sennheiser mic. Since I spent so much on buying the new mic and wanted a further upgrade this month, I decided to just buy a new interface so as not to waste the money I paid for the mic. Endless loop of spending... orz)

I do think USB condenser microphones like co1u or at2020 pretty much do the job and are more than worth their price. With good mixing skills and knowledge of equalizers, you'll be able to fix their quality to be as good as the audio interface setup.

I used a Guitar Hero microphone for a while xD It's pretty good, and it was like 10 bucks on amazon, lol. I use a Blue Snowball now, but I only got it because my Guitar Hero one broke oTL

SO JELLY OMG.

I use an EA Wii mic on a stand i made myself out of a broom handle, duct tape, a drill, a wood plank, and a rolled up piece of cardboard :C
YAY INGENUITY?
Actually, I just spend all my money on doujins, games, and sweets instead of good recording equipment...

@Jasmine I have a Logitech HD Webcam C310, and it's also skype certified! -high fives-
It's not the best, but it gets the job done fine. o3o

I recently upgraded from the USB Logitech Desktop Mic to a Blue Yeti about two months ago, the quality is so nice! It's an awesome mic!

SHIRA!!!!! I also use my Logitech Hd C310 as a mic -High Five!- haha C:
I bought it for 30$ at Bestbuy (on sale~) /shot
I needed a webcam and after a while I found out it was pretty good for recording. Just like Shira said it's not the best but it's fine. But with the right equalizers it sounds a bit better:D

I'm thinking of upgrading to a Blue Snowball after Christmas (over 150$ in gifts 8D)

^ -high fives-
Mine was also on sale! It was either at Future Shop or Best Buy, I can't remember. 8D My dad bought it for my computer 'cause our old one died. This was just a few year back, (probably) (which is pretty awesome since I've had my old webcam since I was 3, maybe even younger (but it wasn't used that often so I wonder if that counts? /shot))

Hahaha we're awesome :DDD /shot

just a cheap headset mic

Plantronics headset mic.

The kind you can probably get at any electronics store for about 15USD.

lllOTL My quality is so static-y.
