I can tell you I did the same thing, and DJWheat gave this convoluted description of his setup. I didn't get anything from it. So I bought a Blue Yeti. I think it's easy to use and sounds pretty good. It was $100 even. http://www.bluemic.com/yeti/ I told DJWheat about it and he said he used to use that and liked it. I think for casting and streaming, you're not going to get much value going >$100.


hahahaha! It's totally an ego thing. ;D Getting a really nice headset and good computer is the easiest way to deal with everything, Geoff. He has a really complicated setup with an excellent final result, but he has been doing this for a long time and does a lot of research on everything. If you're looking to do it long term, definitely seek his help on the matter. I baffled everyone in TSN back in the days, especially Marcus when I used a 15 dollar compaq stick mic with a paper towel on it that sounded fantastic. >_<

If I may add to this... Basically any condenser microphone will provide a fairly high quality input. the only thing is you will have to deal with ambient noise when you upgrade to a professional quality microphone.. A pop--filter is always a good investment especially if you plan on being energetic because it will take care of a lot of the clips and pops that can occur when your voice clips. Using basic audio editing software like Audacity even can help you clean the vocal quality and keep it at a constant level to make things sound more professional as well...

Editing in a little more.. I'm at work so I'm bored...

There is also the choice of omni-directional and directional type. I personally prefer omni-directional because of the noise in my room (being without a proper sound room) and it seems to have slightly less feedback while in open spaces.

Just some things to throw out there.. I can link what I actually use if you are curious.
