Might be the wrong section but I'm curious, because some DJs sound so much better than others (quality of mic) and I've just paid for an expensive mic so I can send in a good quality sample audio file when I apply for one of the DJ applications

Bad ones from my experience in testing my browser plugins the past few days.

I personally (Although I don't DJ), use an Audio-Technica BPHS1 and a Behringer USB sound interface.

most djs dont have massive amounts to spend on headsets and stuff

i have my main mic set up but most the time i use my cheap headset

If you're going for a Blue mic, go for a Snowball, half the price of the one you linked. That's what myself and welshcake use.

Both Zealoux and myself use a blue snowball. Different ones like. They aren't bad at all really.

I bought them both ;) on average £40 each, one was a little more, one was a little less.
I use them for degree stuff too though, so it's useful if you're willing to spend a bit more.

I'm sure I used to listen to your old shows and they sounded awesome

can't go wrong really, that's all I need - a good all rounder, saying that it'd be nice to add it to my nice little setup (excuse the wall it wasn't me) https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/v/t1.0-9/1186303_348172308650408_1327263848_n.jpg?oh=9deedb ffc89ded101218a1bcbee45f86&oe=553F4539&__gda__=1430694982_0d543c17e40a62ac537617f82c533a7 f

This is probably the terrible part lmao, I use an internal mic and it's worked fine for the time I've been a DJ. Sometimes it doesn't connect to my laptop, so I will use an xbox microphone or something similar to that, you may think oh my god thats terrible, but they're quite good quality and I don't get any complaints!

I used the ones Kyle (Shockwave) suggested, Microsoft Lifechat LX-3000.

Good quality and not bad price.

Never worked on a Habbo station but ran my own online radio station and used a Rode NT1-A Condenser microphone which is a really good microphone and compared to some pro microphones it's not too expensive and you can get packages for them. Only problem is it requires phantom power input e.g. through a mixer. I used a Behringer: XENYX 1002B but it didn't have a usb output.

I used to run my station from a small office space with basic equipment mostly from ebay and similar sites. Here's a picture of our setup

Aw, it's the baby version of my mixer :8 I'm guessing the thing in the back of the picture is a compressor limiter? I might look into getting one of those mics for my recording studio, I'm only using a C-1 Condenser mic for £30 at the moment

Yeah it's a compressor/limiter but I got it from a second hand shop to find it was partly faulty but lost the receipt
