I'm using an Audio Technica AT2500 USB, plug and play. Pretty nice, another condenser mic.

ko kene beli yang setup macam ni. takyah carik rode, probably too mahal for lecturing use. china punya banyak. carik versi usb, bukan headphone jack.

a good cheap brand would be samson. local distributor dia kat tepi lot 10 - JS music. kalau pergi cakap kldc sent you.

an alternative is one of those usb gaming headphone/mic.


Kenapa USB better than jack?

condenser ni elok untuk studio. dynamic/"normal" mic elok untuk live or loud sounds. sebab tu karaoke pakai normal mic je. kalo pakai condenser nyanyi konfem rosak dah pastu.


Antara dua ni yg mana condenser?

QUOTE

kalau jack, ko kena ada DAC. also kalau jack, most headphone port kat pc tak elok and ada interference.

kalo usb, think of it like having an external usb sound card attached into the headphone/mic.

condenser yang bukan macam mic karaoke, and yang macam dalam studio orang buat recording lagu.

but muke ko muke uitm, damn laugh.gif

beza uitm and utm is the "i" only... kan?

but true to c-fu
if analog/jack your mobo must have internal sound card, that converts analog signal to digital, and usually intenal sc no good, especially grounding, which can create hiss in recording
usb better since digital signal is sent to pc rather than analog
also, get some Acoustic Foams Panels to lower echo in recording

Arrghhh I don't have to time for this! laugh.gif.

But will keep it in mind for the future. At the moment my room is carpeted with large draps and soft furniture. Plus stacks of books, papers and files allover. It has decent acoustics so far.

Regarding the USB and XLR input, XLR will sound a lot better if you have a good audio interface. But for recording classes and voice chat in general, a USB mic will sound decent enough without breaking the bank.

Edit: Read wrong, I thought XLR. Turns out it was about the 3.5mm jack. A USB interface is better than the 3.5mm because the audio is direct. A 3.5mm jack type of microphone requires your PC to convert to audio on its own which could introduce noise with all the electronics inside a PC.

RM200? Can consider a Plantronics Blackwire 3220 headset with boom mic.

I got it from Shopee.

I am already using Camtasia. Although it can remove BG noise as you said, it turns my voice to almost robotic. Here's an example:



I had to resort to soft background music to cancel the noise. laugh.gif



I found out from their forums that the problem is with the mic.

And thanks for your suggestion. Will look them up.

Oh, its not really as robotic as in using robot voice. I think its still okay. Even when u use the bg music, still can hear some sound distortion. But yea, for temporary and cheap solution, thats the best we can do i think. I'm using xiberia headphons from china, its not the best, but as long as my students can hear me clearly it shud be good enuf.

To eliminate background noise, just use RTX Voice: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/guides...ce-setup-guide/

Best in class processing, amazing result

i see the term condenser when searching for mics. What does it mean?

its a type of microphone, not getting into detail, its a type of microphone that is good for vocals, go on youtube to have a listen,

i used to use a cap ayam gaming headphone mic when i was doing voiceovers and "gaming tutorials" (never went far) , i invested in a condenser mic and it was the best investment i had made, but one con with it is that its bloody sensitive

you have to record in a quiet room else the damn thing will pick up dog barking from 2 houses away, the one i had was a little over your budget but not much, it was a Samson C01U USB, reason i went for that was the ease of use, just plug it in the usb port and its ready

Condenser mic pickup dia kuat if your room bising they will tangkap semua background noise di sekeliling lu, macam aircond/angin semua tu

Dynamic less sensitive dia pickup suara depan mic tu je
Tak tangkap background noise
