I'm tasked to record some screencasts for work, my working room is quiet but there might be some noises coming from the distance + the walls are not accoustic. I'd like to get a decent sound with a ~250$ gear, after some reading few questions popped to my mind:
1. Condenser vs dynamic - this one makes me bang my head... I really love how with condenser you can move your head freely without breaking out, on the other hand I wish not to complicate my workflow and clean-up every audio with dedicated software
2. How important is an accoustic shield? is it more important with condenser?
3. Why would I need a shock mount if the mic is on a stand and nothing moves on the room while I speak?
4. Does it make sense to buy XLR+USB microphone so I can start without an audio interface and buy it once my budget permits?
For example:
Amazon.com: Blue Yeti Pro USB Condenser Microphone, Multipattern.: Musical Instruments
