Suggestions for a good computer microphone?

Never used one before, but I need to make a video screen capture with an audio voiceover. I’m using camstudio for the capture.

Anyone have tips on what kind of microphone would be good, (and not to pricey)?

Answer #1

Just to update this thread, I ended up with an inexpensive ($10) logitech mic from walmart.

I have to speak loudly, and can’t talk directly into the mic or it picks up my breath. But if I keep it a bit to the side, it works fine for the small job I am doing.

If I was doing extensive recording work I would probably want something better.

You could look into a lower end one from Microsoft if you are still looking for something better. And a headset is usually best because it’s made to pick up just your voice and is directed towards you instead of in a general direction like a desk mounted one.
Hope I was of some help, good luck. =)
