In this episode of Podcasting for Fun and Profits, Yann and I would like to share with you our recommendations on which microphone to use for podcasting, based on our experience as podcasters for many years. Choosing a mic does not fully depend on the price because we believe that expensive ones do not equate to better quality. Your purchasing decision that relates to mics and gears will also be determined by how you are going to use it most of the time and your recording environment. In this episode: - Which reasons does Luis give for recommending the ATR2100X microphone? - Yann recommends the Samson QTU due to the dual microphone feature and the crisp sound quality. - Your audio recording environment matters. - Another mic recommendation from Luis. - One more mic recommendation from Yann.
