Seems to be the microphone of choice for first time podcasters. I just picked one up on Amazon with accompanying windscreen, set to arrive on Wednesday.
I figure if I outgrow it quickly I'll ship it off to my co-host to improve his sound quality.
Exciting!
How do you like it so far? Do you have the Amazon web-link?Quote:

The cost to value ratio of the ATR 2100 is certainly amazing. I have an Electro-Voice RE27, Rode Procaster, Shure SM58a Beta and a ATR 2100 and although I like the RE27 best, is it really worth nearly 10 times the price?...doubtful for my application in podcasting. I was lucky to get the RE27 used for ~$300 so I couldn't pass it up. And to be honest in a blind test I probably couldn't tell you the difference...but I am a noob.
Man, that is a good price for the RE27 so I agree that was a win-win! Even if you were to sell it, you could easily fetch all if not more than what you paid.
And to make you more jealous :) it was $369 with the shock mount included...crazy...Maybe it's broken and I just don't realize it :) I was shocked when I won the bid on eBay.Quote:

So back on topic so I stop hijacking exreality's thread :) What were you using before the ATR 2100? I think you sound pretty darn good on your podcasts.
I'm shocked to hear you think it sounds good! I am using a Logitech C310 720p webcam and find it to be quite echo-ey (possibly due to my room as well). shadow uses the built-in webcam on his laptop.Quote:

Maybe it's just relative to your cohost :) Sure I hear the echo but for a webcam not too bad.
