Hi everyone,
So, I work at a software company and, occasionally, we do these video demos of our software tools with accompanying audio commentary. After a while, we all noticed that our cheap mikes just wouldn't do, so we agreed to upgrade, i.e. buy a decent one. A couple of weeks and many reviews later, the choice has narrowed down to the Rode Podcaster and Rode NT-USB. Now, we know these two are very different, the first one being dynamic and the latter a condenser mic, which is exactly why we would appreciate some advice from the pros:
Any kind of help would be much appreciated!

Now, we know these two are very different, the first one being dynamic and the latter a condenser mic, which is exactly why we would appreciate some advice from the pros:
- The office we're doomed to record in is somewhat echoey. Is the Podcaster in this case a better option?
- What if we added a reflexion screen, such as >this one<, to the NT-USB?
- Would the reflexion screen still do its job with the Podcaster (since it would be lying almost perpendicularly to the screen and probably sticking out a bit, due to its length)?
Any kind of help would be much appreciated!
