I hadn't thought about having a travel mic. I presumed they'd be expensive or not better than my headset. The samsung go might fit well for a few tasks for me if we're ever allowed to travel again.. At $40ish with both cardoid and omnidirectional, it looks like a good place to start. Mounting on a laptop (or book ) for music lessons is a useful feature in my particular case. ciao, der.hans > On March 27, 2020 4:41:42 PM MST, "der.hans" wrote: >> moin moin, >> >> With everyone else suddenly going online I need to finally improve some >> of >> my versatility. >> >> Any recommendations for microphones? >> >> >> Needs: >> >> * something that does well with voice, e.g. podcasts, presentations, >> meetings >> >> * something that will work for an acoustic instrument >> >> * works with laptops and desktops >> >> * can eliminate background noises >> >> * works with debian/Ubuntu >> >> >> Wants: >> >> * one mic to rule them all rather than needing multiple mics >> >> * works with cellphones >> >> * wired connection option >> >> * inexpensive >> >> * can be used in an open room with someone else joining the same chat >> room >> in a different room in the house without flashback sound effects >> >> * can be used in an open room with someone else joining the same chat >> room >> in a different room in the house with flashback sound effects because >> kidling thinks it's hilarious :) >> >> >> We already have that last feature with the current setup. >> >> For the most part, mic use can be in isolated parts of house.
