Hey, I'm curious to know if anyone knows anything about Blue's Snowball USB mic...it was recommended to me by my guitar teacher to use for desktop recording. He said I didn't need an interface with it becuase it connects directly to the computer via USB.

thx
Peter

I'd go USB mic only for very low budget obligations.
A decent mic with a decent pre will behave better and is an open system.

A USB mic includes the mic/pre/AD converter for the price of the mic itself, corners HAVE to be cut.

If your audio interface has a decent pre, start with it and buy a decent mic, you can upgrade later for adding another mic and a stand alone pre. Think forward.

Now, if your output is for your blog, some bad radio broadcast, the USB mic can suffice.

About the blue snowball, My personal experience with the not USB version some years ago wasn't that good for singing voice, but it is suited as GitGeezer said.
