Hi, I am looking for a good microphone and can't seem to find any good resource that explains what I need and how to choose wisely. About 6 months ago I bought a RØDE mic and it is horrible. I paid around $150 and it is so bad, but I've been using it since then because I had no other choice. It's actually made to be connected to DSLRs, but I've been using it on my computer.
But anyway. I need a good one under $500. Even $500 is a bit much, but I am willing to pay it if it's worth the extra mile. I record drawing tutorials on YouTube, and if the audio quality is poor, I lose a lot of production value. So, one of those radio DJ microphones, with one of those metalic hand that can be brought to my mouth while drawing. And I can't find anything conclusive anywhere, since I'm not an expert in this field at all.
Please if you can help with your advice, let me know what microphone your recommend, as well as what auxiliary gear I need. Such as the "metalic hand" (I don't know the actual name for it), the round black foam thing, the mixer thing that powers it with "phantom power" (I've read a little bit about that but still can't wrap my head around it), etc.
Thank you!
