Yes, I'm new and I want to get into podcasting. Currently, I ordered an Apogee MiC but quickly realized I want something more. I've considered the Shure PG42-USB because I want a side addressing mic so I can view my computer screen. I'm also up for a good quality XRL side addressing but haven't really seen anything mentioned on hear by you pro-types. Maybe I'm off-base with that idea so blast away.
I use a Mac and may well be buying the new MacPro later in the year. BTW: My budget to get started is about $1500~$2k (mic/mixer, etc) so a more expensive mic is Okay, to a point. Thanks for any advice you may provide.

Welcome to the site. there are a few things you can do. If you are looking to stick with a USB microphone I would go with the Audio Technica 2005-USB. It has both USB and XLR inputs on it (You can grow with this microphone and will only set you back 44 bucks)
I also would like some information for being a noob. I have heard people say only buy dynamic . Does it make a difference if you are using a gate? wont the room noise be cut out?
Thanks for the tip Andrew. Well, after reading your response and watching a slew of YT vids’ I decided and ordered the RE20. Now I need some advice on a good preamp. Any thoughts on the Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 - USB 2.0 Audio Interface? It offers a 100db gain (I think) and if I understand correctly, the RE20 needs plenty. Again, any advice is really appreciated.
