why you may not need or want a huge professional looking computer mic.
For those who go out and spend like 200 bucks on a huge microphone that you plug in to your noisy as all hell old computer to do some professional voice or music recording, my question to you is this. Do you really need that? Why be held in one or two places by having to hold that huge mic, and a laptop? People seam to really like computer microphones, maybe because it looks professional, or as I will say here, maybe they have no need for something else, and actually just need a mic for there computer.
My thoughts are this. computers can be noisy when they want to be. Question is, do you really want that piece of machineery, fan spinning, hard drive possibly turning, perhaps taking it's last breaths before going out for ever, processer going, near your recording set up? In my case, the answer is, ah hell na!! Why would anyone. If your working in music, it may make some sence, maybe you need to record yourself and you need the music to go along with. Personally, I would, and probably will, take a hand held recorder far far away from my computer to a room with no other loud sound, bring up the music track on my phone, plug a head set in to said phone, and start recording.
But what if your recording something else, that you don't need a computer for? I will, and have, done the same thing.
Now, if your doing gaming, there are obvius reasons I would say go for a good sounding, or at least passable computer microphone. But for those who don't need a computer near them, I say, maybe take the extra step.
If not a computer mic, than what? Perhaps a hand held recorder. One that sounds good. Some cancome in handy for quite an array of different situations.
If you are professional and have something better, then stay with that. If you’re not, perhaps consider this.
