[...] I got 50ms sound lag on my creative xfi usb soundcard @ windows 7 64bit, i recommend NOT to buy one if you use this OS. :)
Do you mean USB interfaces in general? Cuz it's not your OS mate, it's that specific soundcard (or its drivers) which causes the problem. Also, all soundcards have decent AD converters nowadays, including onboard soundchips. The only problem with onboard soundcards is interference from within your PC which can be caused my multiple factors (PSU, GPU, bad grounding, etc)]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=15877&post=285252 Fri, 11 Mar 2011 10:30:21 +0100 Reply by nvc https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-15877/page-2/?recent=285252#post=284924 Quoted from Koeitje

Everyone at leveluptv uses Sennheiser PC350/PC360's at home, though not because they are sponsored... just because they have an awesome microphone.

The simplest little mixer will do, really. Behringer MX802A Decent sound card ... buy an asus Xonar, cheapest "awesome" chipset on the market. Microphone Probably the most important part to you. Behringer B-1 or Behringer B-2 are both EXCELLENT choices. the C-1 is good too. Nothing wrong with Røde NT1 ... there you go. EDIT: did not reflect over the budget constraints, just saw you wanted to make "good casts". Well, there is no reason to buy crap when you can get "cheap" gear stated above with ridiculous quality. Let me know when you are 100-200e short and I'll cover it.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=15877&post=282811 Fri, 04 Mar 2011 21:43:18 +0100 Reply by The Pledge https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-15877/page-1/?recent=285252#post=282810 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=15877&post=282810 Fri, 04 Mar 2011 21:43:10 +0100 Reply by Arie https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-15877/page-1/?recent=285252#post=282809 Quoted from ThePledge
My limit would really be about 150-200 euros. Maybe if you guys can donate to TF2TV I'd be able to spare a couple more euros... :D Thanks for the options already! Arie's Sennheiser looks pretty good tbh.
That Sennheiser is 500 euros and you need a solder iron to get the plugs on :D Here's a dirt-cheap option Get this: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/hyundai-soft-neck-laptop-microphone-4468 With this: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/3-5mm-audio-extension-cable-1-5m-5157 Tape it to any pair of headphones. That cheap little mic is excellent, I have a spare set of those which I could mail you if you'd like.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=15877&post=282809 Fri, 04 Mar 2011 21:35:49 +0100 Reply by WARHURYEAH https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-15877/page-1/?recent=285252#post=282807 Quoted from _Ben
