My budget is around $500, I'm a value shopper and I know just the very basics about recording audio. Is there a noticeable difference in sound quality between USB microphones and XLR mics? I'm looking to streamline with the equipment I already have (my Mac) so I'm more interested in finding a quality USB Microphone but I’m not sure if I want a condenser mic or a dynamic mic because I don’t know which type captures better sound quality?
Are there any noise canceling accessories (besides the pop filter) that are suggested to reduce external noises for clearer sound quality? Are there any wireless microphone headsets worthy of podcasting?.... (I like to move around when talk)
I’m basically looking for the best USB Microphone possible around $500 to simply plug and play with my Mac. I’ve been told that once I gain experience and understand the recording process better that I’ll want a preamp to boost my signal.
Does it make more sense to purchase a decent usb mic for around $200 and spend the rest of my budget on a preamp or does it make more sense to purchase a quality usb mic upfront and worry about the preamp later?
