Questions about buying a microphone.
Greetings.
I have in mind to make a video tutorial/review for a free program and I need a microphone to recored my voice.
I don't know much about sound and I would like to be listened clear.
The microphone I'm interested in, at this moment, is the one from thinkpenguin:
I only want your opininon if this device is well suited for my needs or not.
Thank you.
Sorry, for some reason the link I'm trying to share does not show so I will simply paste the URL in simple text:

EDIT: Strange, in the past I had to write in HTML to make a link (href) and now it works by just writing the URL.
I have that microphone. It works well for me. Here's a recording done with it:

The only problem I have is I sometimes can't select it as an input source; rebooting solves this problem. I don't think it's a problem specifically with this microphone, because the sound settings window still shows it properly in the hardware tab when this happens. Anyway, it's a minor problem.
Thank you for the sample, It gave me the information I needed.
The microphone from Thinkpenguin works well for me.
You can buy any microphone that goes into the 3.5mm audio port (on the assumption that it works with free software). I mean the one that has a bit of red plastic around it, not the one with a bid of green plastic around it.
That is, if you want something a bit cheaper. Then you can get any microphone.
I would recommend Audacity for the actual recording.
