believe it or not, i recorded a tune called The Thumb, a cover of PT Gazells version, on Audacity using a guitar hero microphone for the Xbox, and it was just friggin awesome. best recording ive ever done...results may vary, but i did very very little tweaking to the audio track i laid down using it...

As soon as my new desk arrives I'm getting myself a Yeti microphone.

I've heard great things about it, and since it's USB it will plug easily into the computer.

Yeah, Amazon had the best price on it but I ended up going with Newegg because I had a $100 gift certificate. Still, after taking off the gift certificate I'm getting it for about $20.

I use a Tascam US-122 usb interface. Then I use what ever mics that are available. When I record our harmonica club, I put one mic in front of the bass guitar. It picks up the guitar and drums enough to get all 3. Then I take a line out of the PA to get all the vocals and harps.

There are other 2 channel usb devices available, Mine is about 2 or 3 years old and is actually more than what I need or use.
