Good microphone recommendations?
Categories:
I'm doing a train-the-trainer digital storytelling workshop next month using PC's and probably Windows Movie Maker (or possibly something like Adobe Premiere Elements) and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on a microphone ($50 or under) that I could use to get a good, clear voice narration. My friend Colin recommended using a Sony ECM-MS907, but that was on a Mac. I've tried USB mic's but they usually sound awful.
Ben just got an Edirol mp3 recorder, which is sweet, but again, out of my budget!
[Oh and attached is a little bit of what my voice sounds like, recorded by Ben's recorder...I've never lost my voice this badly with a cold before...]

Have you considered a digital voice recorder?
