While everyone is busy processing podcast audio with expensive foam and plywood, I just got this thing. I'm a veteran audio engineer, so here's a tip for you: you don't have to buy all the foam and sweat in a box while you're recording. Just understand. My apartment is noisy and I still get great quiet shots with it. I'm also better at Skype and conference calls. Grab a dynamic mic like the SM7B (*not* a condenser mic, trust me), crank the preamp to full power (you should), set the gate and de-esser thresholds, then straight to the mic. That air conditioner, fridge, and birdsong outside? Goodbye.
