As some of you know (Doz, Notim, and possible Gutiarslinger124) I am recording some stuff with a crappy webcam mic (Microsoft Lifecam VX-100) and I use a crappy windows XP using recording programs like Mixpad, Mixcraft 3, and Wavepad for editing stuff out and Switch to convert to MP3's...
My cam's mic SUCKS though, what are some good mics I can get that plug into like my computers either soundcard or USB port ?
I play on external amps, nothing fancy like wiring the amps to the computer, I don't know shitall about that stuff, I just need good sounding affordable (not like 100 dollar) mic I can record, edit, convert and share with my friends...
Uhh if some of this doesn't make sense I am sorry, just got home from school and I am tired, need to settle in..

if you want a good sound you're gonna have to put a little money into it. you can buy a cheap mic but chances are, it will sound cheap and you'll only ever be recording in mono. i would recommend getting an audio interface that connects to your computer via USB. with the interface you can plug, using a regular instrument cable, your amp directly into your computer via the interface. this is what i do, and its very affordable and you pretty good sound quality.

You mean like, a mixing board ?
And then i can plug my amps in, and the board as a mic in it and will record top quality ?
How much is a mixing board ? I've seen some for 600 bucks, but how much are real cheap (but good) ones that I can find,.. Don't forget I am a kid and don't have a job... And will have to wait til the summer (birthday/lost allowance because I have to pay off my guitar)
