New Microphone - Blue Snowball iCE for USB

It is about time that I start to make some actual VIDEOS.

The two microphones that I am using are "ok", but they allow a bit too much background noise. Even after using filter software it is still apparent, and the voice comes out a bit "tinny" because of the filters.

I did some research and decided to purchase a Blue, Snowball iCE microphone.


This was chosen for the following reasons:
(a) Reasonable price
(b) Good sound quality for the price (HD, 42khz at 12 bits)
(c) Good reviews
(d) Had nothing extra. (You don't pay for stuff you don't need.. No software. No buttons/knobs etc)
(e) The Snowball iCE version (compared to the original, $100 Snowball) only has one microphone capsule inside. It is designed for high quality, simple, VOICE capture in MONO.

It was seventy bucks at Best Buy.

Cost: $70
Time: 2 hours
