As someone who records a lot of different amateur voice people daily for language courses, I&#x27;d have to disagree with some of this.<p>It&#x27;s generally an OK guide, but I would suggest the mic recommendations are incorrect. I&#x27;d like to see an AT2020 USB in the mid-range and Heil PR-40 on the higher end. It&#x27;s cheaper and significantly better sound.  I own the H4N for mobile recording, but the quality really doesn&#x27;t come close to a proper broadcast mic like Shure SM7B or the Heil. You can hear the Heil from a lot of pro podcasters and the SM7B on Marc Maron&#x27;s WTF and a lot of radio hosts.<p>It also glosses over the use of mic arms, pop filters in getting pro sound. It&#x27;s geared towards on-the-go recording and the quality will be nothing like a studio result.
