Samson is a dynamic mic and the Blue is a condenser mic. In fact it's better than most intermediate and advanced microphones. I think Samson is the best beginner mic BY FAR compared to literally any other mic. (I have also used the blue yeti for more than a few sessions, as well as a variety of other mics, and I currently use a Shure MV7) I only used the blue snowball for 1 recording before going back to my Samson. I own a blue snowball (still) and 2 Samson q2u's. Resources /r/podcasting Wiki Related Subreddits Questions? Posted something that's missing? Ask a mod.

It was an effect that is built right into Reaper.

Notice how much better that audio sounds with some noise reduction? And it wasn't some fancy (and costly) noise-reduction program. Below is the USB mic with ReaFIR applied:

USB mics tend to have a steady hiss in the background, which is easily reduced without doing much, if any, harm to the audio. Speaking of noise reduction, most USB mics benefit greatly from the application of noise reduction or removal effects. Also, neither sample received any noise reduction treatment. Both recordings were normalized to the same average volume so that loudness would not be a factor. When comparing the two, listen not only for the noise, but for the overall quality of the sound. Here is that recording: Setup 2 Recordingįor the demo of configuration 2, I used a large diaphragm condenser mic - a Rode NT2-A, plugged into a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 audio interface, which was plugged into my computer via USB.
