What microphone are you using for Linux?

Shure SM7B with a dbx 286s preamp going out to a Focusrite Scarlett Solo USB Audio Interface.

I have a Zoom, it appears as a USB audio input device, never gave me any issues.

I use a Audio Technica AT2040 with a Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 audio interface.

Not sure about studio quality, but for video conferencing and doing some Twitch streams, I’ve being using a Blue Yeti Nano USB microphone for a few years (since COVID) with no issues on Linux.

Microphones are usually just an analog XLR connector. Good news is most audio interfaces work well in linux because they use standard drivers.

I use a Røde NT-2A. What do you mean by “enhancing your voice?” You want a compressor or EQ?

I supposed both; Pulse Effects looks pretty good but was wondering if anyone is using something different!

I’d recommend against using pipewire over pulseaudio, and in turn eassyeffects rather than pulseeffects. Pipewire is a much cleaner implementation, way less buggy, has a wider support. As far as I’m aware pretty much every major distro ha smigrated to pipewire aleady.

I personally run my mic into a DAW and process it with effects there. It’s what DAWs are designed to do. I use a DAW output as an audio input for applications. It works great.

Get an audio interface. Then you can use any microphone.

I use a Shure SM58 for voice and a Shure SM137 for instruments with a Behringer UMC204HD.
