TFP Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Hi folks,i need a mic for recording some conversations.I wondered if anyone has experiences with the Sony ECM-F8 mic and if it's worth the price. I don't need a high-end mic at all, just something to record me and my friends talking.Is there any other recommendations?Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Otaku Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Boundary microphones can be quite good at what they do, but with this one being listed on some websites at $15USD retail, I'm a bit doubtful of its quality.If all you need is something simple and the space you will be recording in aren't too reverberant or filled with outside sounds, the boundary mic might do well by you.Poke around on http://www.reactive.com and http://www.soundprofessionals.com .. at the least, you can get an idea of what's out there. Both sites also have samples of recordings made with many of the mics they sell, so you can get an impression of what things will sound like.

A440 Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 I got a "Stereo Lapel Microphone for Minidisc," sold on Ebay for about $10, and it's perfectly adequate for conversations and interviews. Just don't move it around while recording, any rubbing on the case sounds loud. Here's one listing:http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...ssPageName=WDVW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
