Question of the Week
Question (from Reddit): I need to get a good microphone but want to go with a USB to start with. Is it best to get something like the MV7 USB/XLR just in case I want to add a mixer in the future? Or can a just USB mic be OK? What other mics should I look at?
Answer: It’s best to get something you can grow with. The Shure MV7 is a great choice but if you want something a little cheaper, but still good, the Audio-Technica ATR-2100X and the Samson Q2U are good choices.
