Vocal / Acoustic Guitar Mic Advice

Forums

So I am thinking about investing in a new mic or mics but have quite a few questions.

So I am looking to pick up a new microphone for the use of recording male & female vocals. (Primarily male and mostly acoustic style tracks but also some EDM vocal tracking.)

I am also looking to pick up a new mic to record acoustic guitar.

Grounding issue with laptop power cable/guitar

Hi,

I have a macbook pro laptop and my audio interface is the Apogee Duet 2. Whenever I plug my guitars into the Apogeeinterface I've got a hum going on. I can get rid of the hum if I take out my laptops power cable however I then have an issue of the laptop overloading frequently (not running at full capacity without power cable) and running out of battery without the power cable.

One Mic (under $200) for female vocals, acoustic guitar and electric guitar?

Forums

Hi everyone, this is my first post here.

I'm looking to purchase a single mic to record female (alto) vocals, and acoustic and clean electric guitar. My guitar amp is a Princeton Reverb. I know that I should probably get two separate mics but I don't have the space or budget for that as I live in a very small room.
