Hey guys,
I’m looking at doing some screencasts and was wondering if anyone could recommend a decent mic to use or what you use if you do them?
Thanks!
Matt
I bought a Rode Podcaster almost two years ago and love it. You can hear it in my latest screencast http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/javascript-ajax/stop-nesting-functions-but-not-all-of-them/
I use My Logitec Webcam built in microphone… Awesome quality if i use Logitec software recording, but weak if i use Camtasia Studio and Screenr… Lost the sound power… but somebody have a nice settings for Camtasia, please…

any condenser mic should do the job :))
