Nature Abhors A Vacuum


A couple of friends and I are thinking about doing a podcast, but one of the group is remote. The idea is that the two local of us would record together and our third would skype in. I've seen how to setup a mixer to combine audio into a Skype feed, but those use XLR mics and we all have Snowballs that are USB. I know us local guys could just share a mic but that will be a hassle we are wanting to avoid.

So a few quick questions:

I see there are USB to XLR converters, are those as bad as I'm guessing? (EDTI: Yes, they are, so this can be ignored.)

Is there a current specific new hotness for XLR mics or mixers? We aren't opposed to buying new mics if that's the best way to go. Just trying to figure our options out.

Is there anything obvious I'm missing?

Thanks y'all.
