Not sure if I'm posting in the right place, but sure do let me know where I need to repost if here isn't it.

My budget is up to $400.

Only need it to record tracks at home.

I have no preamp...very new to this whole recording thing. Only sang live and recorded on cheap mics.

Trying to decide between a USB mic or preamp + mic,

I now have Cubase (still trying to figure out this ASIO4ALL thing)

Look forward to your pro tips and recommendations!
