Hi,
I would like to record some podcasts with Audacity to upload on LingQ, I would like to avoid that annoying background noise: what is a suitable microphone? I was thinking about one of those nec microphones…

Tosca, possiamo discutere come migliorare la qualità dei lezioni. Ad esempio, come usare i funzioni di “normalization”, “compression”, “noise reduction”.
Ci sono i diversi tipi dei microfoni. Più caro è meglio, naturalmente. Ma ci sono i microfoni con USB o con i altri tipi di connettore a spina. Questo dipende da tua apparecchiatura.

I´m using a Studio Projects B3 large-diaphragm microphone. Mine is quite expensive (almost 200€), but it´s sounds pretty good. The microphone doesn´t create any audible noise and my voice sounds exactly like it sounds in real-life

There are similar microphones for a lower price: Microfoni a Condensatore con Diaframma Largo – Thomann Italia
I know a guy who uses a T-bone sc.440 (the first one in the list) and it´s pretty cool. Probably one of the best sounding mics you can get for 60€
Maybe not as “studio” quality as other microphone, but the H1 Zoom has very good sound quality and is very portable. It can be used as a microphone and as a recorder. I bought one for about $100
The H1 looks pretty cool but I don´t think it´s a good solution for podcasts.
The H1 can make stereo recordings, you can use it as an audio-interface, you can plug in external microphones, you can carry it around, you can use it with a battery, you can connect it to a camcorder, you can use it with a micro SD card, it can automatically adjust its volume and a ton of other things…
However, all you need for LingQ is a microphone that can make clear, natural-sounding recordings.
