I make some videos on youtube, including educational videos with voiceover and ukulele covers. I was considering getting a microphone since I’ve been recording using my laptop\/iphone and the sound hasn’t been great. Do you have any recommendations for something that would be a step up from that but not too pricey (<$100 CAD)? BTW my boyfriend got those headphones you recommended and he's basically in love with them! Thanks again :)"},"content":{"rendered":"

When doing any voiceover or important video work, I personally use the Samson C01U<\/a>. It\u2019s a condenser mic. The original C01 used an XLR cable and required phantom power (which meant buying a separate preamp), and I used that for over ten years. Now the C01U uses a USB cable and draws the power it needs directly from the USB port! What a time to be alive. =)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s only $61 on Amazon<\/a> which converts to $65 CAD so well within your price range, so maybe you could even add an inexpensive pop-filter<\/a> if you don\u2019t already have one (I highly recommend one for voiceover work).<\/p>\n

Also, for those of you who are not long time readers here at alandistro.tumblr.com, the headphones I recommended to her boyfriend are the Sennheiser HD 201s<\/a>. They are not the best headphones in the world, but they are<\/em> the best headphones under $300. So at only $25, they are a steal.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Thanks! That looks like a really good option. I’ll let you know if I decide to get it \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
