What microphone should I use for recording online training?

I use the blue yeti for all my recording now


Amazing the difference in quality.

I don't use the livechat for any recording any more - apparently the gaming headsets are the ones to go for, if you go for a headset mic. But this was great quality at a low price, when I started. But if you can, start off with the Blue Yeti and don't experiment with others - so many trainers I know, all use the blue yeti. And they do so for a reason - it is great.

I have my blue yeti on a boom stand.


Because the blue yeti stand picked up vibration and noise when I was using the keyboard, and this avoids this problem for me. I do a lot of screen capture, hands on computer stuff in my training.

Many trainers avoid this by doing the audio track separate from the video track. I rarely do that, but on some lectures that seems appropriate.

I had to buy a thread adapter: a generic Microphone Mic Clip Stand Thread Adaptor 3/8" to 5/8" Connector, to connect the mic to the stand

I also bought a generic pop shield which works fine for me
